well im having ago at making a twin engine lawn dart

well work is on the way with my new build. since the last one went far far better than i thought it would im now building a twin this time. bit bigger as well. will post what it is when iv got something to show.

Looking forward to someone elses build jeff, good on ye, its a buzz when you build and fly your own.

thanks Keith think i will need some advice on wiring the motors up and should i go for 1 or 2 esc. but this is bit down the road yet. the plane is on the depron just need to cut it out. i have scaled it down a bit as it was 48in wingspan.

hi jeff 2 esc, 1 per motor.

if i do that then i may use the same power setup as the mustang. so x2 will give me 250 watts. should fly with that setup. this one has fixed landing gear. if i can i would like to make it contra rotating props.

I get my props for the quad from here

cheap props yet the build quality is very good according to my balancer.

Here's a twin motor setup to look over jeff it goes into details for differential throttle it might be something you want to look at.

If nothing else m8 the video is quite funny

nice find keith love the video,a plane for a future build.

"Tanks" for the words pete

nice find Keith the info will be great and the tube vid was brilliant.think i will have ago at the cargo plane in the future. think i will stick with flat foameys for now.
one thing that i don't no is the motor differential setup is for.

TANKS FOR THE WORDS,you must have been to the camp site i was at in dorset keith,bloody tanks were up & down the road all day & night & shooting on range,we were next to bovington tank base & range.i hate tanks then at 1am 2 police helicopters decided to hover over our site thought tent was going to blow away. but still managed to fly radian,bongo,mini p-51 & t-rex 450.

Future build is in the present pete and only one thing to say its HUGE!
the elevator on this plane is bigger than some of my planes at 21inches it gives you an idea of how big this one is going to be.
I should really start its own thread...

Jeff the differential setup is done by linking the motors to the rudder control on the tx, when you apply rudder one motor speeds up a little helping you in the turn its not really needed but cargo plane as you see in the video is capable of prop hanging and the differential motor setup gives you that little extra control.

Big girl aint she

oh aye easily fpv

iv been a subscriber to his youtube channel for about a year now. he is very gifted for what he makes.

well here it is long way to go but you can see what it is.

so its based on a dc3 dakota. will paint it in green with the d day stripes. will be contra rotating and have wheels.

looks good jeff you,ll have to make a horsa glider to tow or some paratroopers.

Nice one jeff, Pleased to see I'm not the only scratch builder on here
Its about time pete did another one me thinks

think i will leave the paratroopers to keith, but the horsa glider sounds good.

What motor\prop setup are you thinking of?

Paratroopers lol, a guy on the cargo thread used a big one on his and it got hung up the plane looked like it had a chute out the back, his motors could not pull it, did not end well.

same as the mustang i hope may be just one big esc instead of two

sorry jeff 2xesc with brushless, unless u are using brushed

bugger i wanted to keep it as clean as i could with no wiring mayhem.

engine nacelles will need to be remade for brushless
