Double Trouble                 

                The 'Double Trouble' has twin booms and fins and uses two .25 size motors. As you can see, the motors are mounted at opposite ends of the fuselage and point in opposite directions. One motor pulls while the other pushes the plane through the air. There are many advantages to this 'Push Pull' motor setup. The props spin in opposite directions (counter rotation), which minimizes the effect of torque on the aircraft both on the ground and in the air. Also, with both motors on the same trust line, the only change you'll see if one motor stops running is a reduction in the speed of the plane. I am using a servo in each wing for aileron control and three more servos for steering,  throttle, and elevator for a total of five. You can use the standard four-servo setup if you wish. The Double Trouble has a 52" wingspan and weighs 5 1/2 pounds ready to fly. The Double Trouble wing decal is now available.  Order plans.
