    I got bored and decided to resurrect a concept I came up with a few months ago. I always wanted to try a twin motor plane but never had that much interest to put the financial resources into it.

    I managed to get most of the airframe completed today. I only found a couple of small issues that need to be addressed, but nothing major.
    I did add in a carbon spar to beef up the wing. Hoping to get it completed by the weekend for a test flight.

    Some basic spec's
    Wingspan 40"
    Length 32"
    Wing area 240 sq inches
    If I use a monster 2200 3S lipo, it looks like the flying weight will be 18 oz. That should give it about an hour of flight time. LOL!
    That will give a wing loading of 10.8 oz/sq. ft. I think a little weight to load up the wings will be a good thing with this plane. Attached files [​IMG] [​IMG]
