IMPORTANT SIZE STUFF This plan has been
around and thru a bunch of machines. To get a
13" span, ignore the instruction to enlarge the plan 113%. For me,
120% worked well. It's worth a
shot. Don Carron writes that the maximum diameter of the prop
is 6-1/2" to avoid the two props
interfering with each other. I think you can go to 7".
If you want a 12" Twin Pusher try 111%.
These will fit on standard sized sheets of paper. If you have
Netscape do a right click on the half of
the plan, click [View Image] and then , with the printer set with no
margins, then click [Print].
Do it again for the other half
Something similar should work for you folks in thralldom to Bill Gates-
You are on your own with the nice CAD.
Here's a snazzier and improved drawing that might help- you'll either have to have a big printer or reduce it in your handy graphics program..
The CAD for this 14" version was made by Rob Porter . A clever person can probably change the size.
Rob had fun. He writes...
I built a model from my redrawn plans and yesterday aired it at an indoor
meeting here in the U.K. (Black Lion leisure centre, Gillingham, Kent
).
All I can say is, WOW! What a wonderful aircraft. It's the first twin
pusher I've ever seen, never mind built and it looks absolutely fantastic
in the air. I'm hooked! It flew right off, without any trimming. Heads
turned as the huge paddle blade propellors, thrashing powerfully, pushed
the craft majestically into the ether. It turns in lazy left hand circles,
probably due to some inconsistency in my building, not through any
trimming
efforts on my part. It circled the hall grandly, climbing slowly, glanced
off a wall, apparently without losing any height, and carried on circling
until the mere 500 turns I had put on for its first flight unwound
sufficiently for it to descend serenely to the floor. A minor stampede
resulted as the aforementioned "turned heads" rushed for a closer look,
firing a barrage of questions as they came. You may find a few more
hits on
your site from this side of the pond!
I redrew the plan using ModelCAD 99. Considering it was the first plan
I
have ever drawn on a CAD system the result doesn't look too bad - I've
attached a copy in several formats to this email.
