Just wondering what you guys would recommend as a Twin Starter plane?
but I am not an ARF guy. Was thinking of a build, or maybe bashing a 4 * 40 into a twin. What are your thougths?
With that thought in mind then This airplane would be superb for that purpose it is a Sig Seniorita kit bashed with two OS .25FX. The nacelles are simple bath tubs that are fully adjustable for out thrust from 0 degrees to 10 out. This can be simply adjusted for the skills of the pilot and has proven to be very successful. surprizingly it is a delight to fly aerobatically also. In addition the nacelles are easily removeable and the battery pack is switched from a compartment near the stab to one in the tip of the nose and it is flown as an aero towed glider with a release next to the nosegear.
I have trained six local pilots with this airplane with skills from just solo'd to many years experiance very successfully, all have their various multi's now but all love the Oxy-Moron.
Here is the airplane which is an excellent performer doing a single engine takeoff and flight to a landing:
