Posts made past 02:30PM 12/30/24 won't be on the new site!

We are in the final stages of resolving the issues with the forums move to the new location. After talking with tech support, the only solution was to send him a copy of all the images. This will take time - but we know the fix SO it's only a matter of time now.

Thanks again for your patience,

    A lot of sub-4500 pounders starting to surface, (another one soon). GOTTA let them come up and play, somehow.

    I like the precision drawing. Where's the CG vs. wing?

      Did it ever fly?

      With the fore and aft engines, Peas has a good point on the CG. Another kicker would be the internal volume doesn't seem to be big enough for all of the cooling required (rotaries put out a LOT of heat for their power).

      Exhausts are a pain too, at high power they run bright orange to yellow. my 240 HP ported, carbed, and piped 13B ran exhaust hot enough to read by on a dark night. Kind of cool, do a hard run, stop, pop the hood, and you don't need an engine light!

        If I recall, Garber actually flew this airplane quite a bit in the late '70's. Lots of bugs, and it never really lived up to what he had hoped from it.

          Yeah it flew a while back. The ad shows it in flying trim. An old post had here had a link to an article on it, but it's dead now.
          I think, if memory serves, (and as you'd expected), it had some cooling problems.
