Flea Market Musciano Zig-Zag or Red Devil?

I haven't got it yet, but my son describes it as a home-made control line handle.  Somebody did some thinking.

Another Musciano design, the "Stunt Master" profiled here a year or two ago.  Smashed when I got it and with a weird second fuel tank.  Non functional I would think but I have yet to try it.  

Robert,

Man...I'm digging that single engine P-38!

The handle is cool too.

Neat isn't it. Wish I had it but it's just a picture of empty boxes now playing on ebay for around twenty nine dollars IIRC.

Bob, the original owner's tank system may work. Joe Wagner did the same on his upsized F/F Dakota to R/C, The Osprey.

The idea is, cap the vent on the Auxiliary tank in the cockpit, then one fills both tanks from the Aux. Once Aux. is full, fuel continues to fill the Baby Bee tank, until excess squirts out the tank vent. Then one caps the Baby Bee remaining uncapped vent. In flight, One first uncaps the Aux. vent. When engine is running, fuel is siphoned from the Aux., until it empties, then connecting fuel line is emptied, next the Babe Bee tank starts emptying. Don't know how well it worked for the original owner, but in theory it should work.

Agree with Jim, I love that Musciano P-38 single engine, an unsung classic. Also love its box art, same style as my 25" hard-to-find Cessna 170, perhaps late 1950's to early 1960's. Don't know if anyone ever put out the plan for download.
