This is my favourite aircraft, and would love to build this but I am to chicken to build a twin, You have made an excellent job of the Beaufighter. I look forward to seeing the enlarged 1:6.6 model.

Hello, thanks for your comment.

The Beau is a great flyer, sir.

I understand that you're in trouble with piston engines, but can fly scale using electric motors in both 1/8 and 1/6.6 scale!

Try it!

Lovely airplane and Lasers! I also use Lasers in my Bf110 and Do335 and they are perfect for scalemodels.

Hi; what a great model!

Can you tell me which plan it was built from. I believe RC Scale models in the UK did one a few years ago that was around 85" span. Was it this one?

many thanks.

@militarymike1 I was scared of twins also. I bought the Hobbico Twinstar trainer and it flies great. I have made 7 one engine landings with it and no mis-haps. I have a video of it on here as well. You might want to look into one of those. I went with .30 fourstrokes, you might want a little bigger engines. I also added flaps to it and that helped alot on the landings, but with both motors running lol. Good luck on twins. I am hooked on them now....
