Shoot look at this way, generally the loss of an engine on a quad is usually less tramatic than on a twin.
Yup, the DH 91 is a beautiful bird. I've read the Albatross construction article and gazed at the plan by Laddie Mikulasko in RCM until the pages are worn out! His was done for 4 speed 400 electrics and is a beautiful work of art.
I do my designs in CAD and am always looking for interesting plans in the .dxf format. Some time back, I ran across a free download of a scanned/vectorized copy of Laddies's Albatross plan. He does wonderful work and I hope whoever did it had his permission!
Roger that on the one engine out on a 4 engine plane scenario but as you can see from my avatar, I'm a Cox engine freak and have only designed for that power source for some time now. Even I, who have more fiddly Cox patience than anyone I know, don't even want to THINK about tuning 4 of the little bears! Now maybe when I retire........hmmmmmm.
Besides, that Ambassador is just plain funky cool!
