Mike Stuart's rubber powered free flight BEA Argosy

[ffscale]

Thanks for the comments everyone. Two motors are in the booms, and two shorter (and thinner) motors are in the outboard nacelles. There is not a huge amount of room, but the single loops of 1/8 rubber run OK. These are about 3 times the peg to hook distance and these outer motors seem to contribute a significant amount of thrust driving 6 inch props. Inner props are 7 inch with a loop of 3/16 inch rubber in each boom.

@ffscale Thanks, I just wondered how you did it. Great model

[avroken]

how did you install the 4 rubber motors? 2 would have been in the booms, the other 2 ?

Great model well filmed, thanks

That has GOT to be the sweetest rubber powered free flight video I have ever seen! And I'm 68....

Congratulations, and thanks, pal.

Very nice, an ispiration ! Exellent trim.

Where can I get info on tips for multi engine rubber ?

I got plans for a Stirling and a Lancaster, but no "multi engine experience"

I would like to see close ups of this aircraft.

I really enjoyed this, keep posting.
