Howdy all, I'm new here again.. I was here 10-11 years ago, but.

I'm retired and am jumping back into the hobby now. (Wow, what a bunch of changes that have occured in the time I've been away)

I have a first edition Balsa Nova 40 kit and have been thing about building a twin based upon this Aircraft. What Y'all think.

Thanks in advance for any and all recommendations and thoughts.

Heyy Ron,,
Sooooo,, decided to come back and stay a while,, 'eh....
Doing it solo or is Cody still hangin' in there...
After all,, 18 now,, cars,, girls, you know the drill..

The BN might be a decent twin... Couple 40's and off you go..
Would suggest keeping control surface throws minimal and
especially at first...

Hi Robby!

Yea, it's been a long time. It's always been in my thoughts. I have visited every once in a while but just haven't had time to pick the hobby back up again.

Cody's 18, in his second year of college, Forensics! He's living in town with his Girl, Going to School and Managing a Pizza hut. Sure do miss him around here but we all have to go on our own way and start our own life. I'm extremely Proud of him, he's doing a far better job then I did at that age.LOL.

The first edition Balsa Nova was sent out with some super good Balsa, I had a few friends that flew them and liked them so well they went to the larger size.

I have two Magnum 4 stroke 30's that I was hoping to use on it, but I also have two OS fp's that I used on the Twin star that I had. along with two Magnum 54 4 strokes. The FP's were broke in and ran together. Just not sure which way I'd like to go.

The Aircraft specs:

Wing Span 52"

Wing area is 675 sq. in.

Length is also 52"

Flying weight is stated to be 5 to 5-1/2 Lbs.

That's not a lot of area for a twin but I could increase the wing span as they did on the Super Sportster conversion.



It's really good to see you're still around.

Be well my friend.
