ORIGINAL: HO-229

I may have to build a foamer crasher & see if 2 degrees out & the high tech rudder/s provide enough control for single engine operation

My goal is to build to scale, but I may find that this is not possible/safe

I have only played with Multi engine aircraft one time (electric), I did have a motor lead come off & I lost one motor, I remember having to have full rudder to keep it straight & only able to turn in one direction.
I did not incorporate any outboard thrust on that thrown together design.
I remember the sick feeling I had when I knew it was doomed… to die a foamy horrific death

Regards,
Dave
