found the plane i've been hoping to find plans for so i can build one to use 2 cox .049 engines
the DeHaviland Hornet, thanks outerzone.co.uk for the plans Smile

here they are

i was just thinking that this is a race plane or at least to me it looks really fast, so what about if i put 2 suped up reed valve engines like i mentioned in another thread that i started "mitch's super .049 sill it work?"
so what do you guys think, plans call for 2, geared .05 elec. motors

i think this plane is just plane sexy, to put it in simple terms Smile

Mitch,

It's no pylon racer but, the real one was quite a performer. The wingspan at 58" may be pushing it for two .049's. However, it may work.

Are you going to see this one through?

i might see this one through, i looked at the AUW and it says 6-6.5lbs so maybe 2 thunder tiger gp 07 engines
i was thinking of the DeHavilland 88, although this does look sweet to
ill have to look at the plans a little more to get a full understanding on how this airplane is built Smile

looks simple, but looks can be deceiving

The DH Hornet was a development of the Mosquito, it was a military fighter, not a racing plane

Outerzone have two or three versions, try...

http://www.outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=1840 33" span rubber powered, but could easily be converted
or

http://www.outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=2764 Control Line, but possible to convert

You are aware what a handfull this would be as an R/C model??

thanks for those links, now that i think about it that plane would be a handfull as a rc model, if i were to build it i would probably sit it on a shelf to look at

Looks like an A6 Intruder.
Anyone read all or any of the Jake Grafton novels by Stephen Coonts? Flight of the intruder was the first.

me and my brother saw a hellcat fly over my house the other day, that would make a sweet 1/2a model
