Super Sportster twin...

In the pictures, I see the engines mounted sideways. Talking to a lot of guys that built twins before, the back and forth motion of the pistons can set up a vibration that can cause one, or both the engines to quit on you!?! With both the twins I built, I mounted the engines so that they were mounted straight up and down. I never had an engine out on my twins. I will post a pic of my RCM trainer in a day or two when I have time. Cheers! 🙂

Bottom tail section...

Bottom wing, servo and throttle lead wiring. The servo you see here are for the flaps. Don't bother!! The plane will land at just above walking speed with out them!!!

Just for info. I weighed it once. It was 15 pounds with the receiver battery but with no fuel. I am using 10 oz. fuel tanks. The engines are OS 46FX. Lots of power and easy to tune! 🤗

Hey mgnostic, I’m glad you chimed in.
I picked up a 4*60 a couple of years ago off of FB mkt place. The guy was trying to convert it to electric and gave up on it. I picked it up real cheap but it is badly fuel soaked. Trying to dry it out with KR2 & heat with towels but this may be a perfect candidate for a twin conversion. It has a 79 inch wingspan with the added wingtips.
did you design the nacelles yourself or are there plans to do this somewhere?

I put the front end from one model and the tail section from another together. I found that the 4 Star wing would fit the body so added that. That plane is a fantastic flyer!! The wing has some small gaps where it fits to the body. That make the plane whistle when I make high speed turns. Everybody stops what they are doing to look up and watch the plane. Love this plane!! 😁🤗
