Here's my latest twin. Not pretty but sport scale and easy to build. Alternative fuselage can be built from 1/2" foam! Used extensively for skydiving and short haul transport.

All done! Test flights tomorrow!

Looks like a fun project. What are the dimensions and what power system are you using?

That's pretty cool!


Bill

Appears from your nacelles and the propellers you are doing one as an electric and the other as glow . So whatcha got planned?

John

I really like this build.. Love to see it fly on video someday.

Very NICE! I worked on a 1:1 scale version in A&P school. Always wanted one as a flying camper. I'd like your plans if you're PUBLISHING punishing them.

I wouldn't mind Punishing them myself !

Sorry Major Tomski, I could not resist.. It really is a neat little plane.

May be homely but nice to see new and cool projects. I still think its cool.

Two of them flying now. Got a third with a 1/2" foam fuselage underway.

Who publishes the plans?

Great job!



Bill

Lifer....they're my plans. I will probably publish them in Model Airplane News.
Bill.....thank you very much!

Rich

That's really cool!!

I don't need to do any hauling
or skydiving ferries, but I like
that! I see 2 .25's & a leftover
wing. I would build that as a non
scale twin. I'll do the 1/2" foam
for fuse construction.

Thanks!

Does someone have the construction article for this model (if there ever was one)?

Would very much like to have that!

Thanks!

I still like this design as well !

Hi Rich, I represent the Swedish model flying federation, and we would like to build your Skyvan as a group build.
We would love to buy the plans if they are available.
Best regards Michael Graff
Second in command in the Swedish model airplane federation.

I am trying, through the AMA, to get in touch with Rich.

Hope to hear from him soon; will of course share when something comes out of it.

Or ask him to share information here.

I am in contact with Rich!

Will keep you posted.

Okay, Rich has sent me two files: the plan itself, and a parts file.

Both are in .dwg format.

If you intend to build the model, send me a PM, and I will send you the files.

I kindly ask you to handle the files in the way Rich asked me: do not publish them, sell to a kit cutter e.g. . . .

They are for personal use only.

Thanks!

Can the person who sent me a message (P.M.) send it again?

I accidentally erased it . . .

I was just looking at the screen and used the scale on the plans to make some notes if anyone was curious..

It looks like the wing chord is about 7 inches
The fuse width is also seven inches,
The fuse height closer to 7.5 inches..

I have an old set of DUAL ACE wings with motors and nacelles ready to go... would be interesting to make the fuse fit those :P So many projects so little time, and slower building every year ! hahahah

I must say that I am really disappointed by the number of persons who asked for the plans . . .

One (1)!

And that wasn't the guy from Sweden.

But never mind, it (still) is a free country.

About as bad as looking for volunteers for a club workday...
