Bill, I have been contemplating a multi motor project for awhile. I was looking at the B-25 Mitchell though. The C-47 2nd, and last the PBY. As it just looks heavy. But first I need to perfect the single motor. I am making progress, and honestly, if not for your videos giving proof they can fly; I might have given up hope. The scale difference woujd not be right between the gloder and te C-47, but still cool to link their Histories. I have never done a true glider yet, and probably shouldnt start with a scale military suicide plane. I know they werent made to catch a thermal and sail around like a Hawk. They were made to crash land once. I might have a chance if I toss it off the Ben Franklin of a flight. I will most likely build it for display, but keep it flyable possible just in case I get a crazy idea.I have never built a Dumas kit. I have looked the plan over, and besides the "box" fuelage, The wing is and tail are just like a Guillows. I am eager to try their wing rib method using 1/16" balse formed over the spar. I think adapting that design into a Guillows wing is going to be beneficial to My future endeavors.
