I think a front engine out in flight might be a bit scary.  I'll bet it gets very squirrely on just the rear engine.  I'd be really interested to hear what the planes flying weight is and what the wing area is.  If it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'm curious as to what engines are installed?

Most of you guys are right, If that front engine goes out in flight, I am going to have a massive problem trying to land it. It will almost be like landing it deadstick, which you guys know, sucks. Our theory was, its a heck of a lot better to have and engine die on this plane, then to have an engine die out in maybe a P38.
Its powerd in the front with a Quadra 100, or 100cc motor. The rear is powerd with a Fugi 32, or 32cc. Obviously, there is a large diffrence there in between the motors. Its a scatch kit from Don Smith and is 101 inches. Yes Fencer, the colors are probably off by some, but do you know how hard it is to find the exact colors from lets say, a paint can? Of course, we did not buy it from a paint can, we bought it from a guy that make a water-based paint, that lives in California or Washington, cain't remeber off the top of my head. We don't want to get too crazy with, because id we do crash it, we spent all this money on rivets and paint detail, crap like that to see it go into the ground? No way.
On to the other questions, yes, that is a Hangar 9/ Horizon Hobby P-47 ARF hanging in the backround, the one on top of that is my pride and joy, the pretty blue hellcat. The one to the right is the fairly new one, the Spitfire. I still have two others in a trailer that we haul back and fourth to the feild on Sundays.
Any other Qustions that I missed?

It was a JOKE, like it was a skin... in the skinners forum, everyone always complains about the RLM colors not being right... And that its not dirty enough.
