Default RE: Full flying elevator question.

First Flown with OS 91's (2 cyclye engines ) Plane was featured in the Rally of the Giants Video 2001 in 2003 We re powered the Nomad with OS 108 2cycle engines. Some of the runways we fly from were rather short and on a HOT day we could not haul all four Skydivers up to drop them due to the density altitude being so high. Then in 2007, we re powered the Nomad again with 2 YS 140 4 cycle engines, There is no problem know with getting the Nomad airborne off a short runway on a hot day with all four Skydivers loaded. We also Use the Nomad for the Candy Drop (can take up 12 lb. of candy in the belly of the Nomad) We take each piece of candy and hot glue a 6" length of colored ribbon on it. Looks like a multicolored slurry drop when released, very Impressive to the Crowds and the Kid's just love it. The ribbons glued to each piece of candy make the candy easy to find.
