Gemini (oz6707)

About this Plan

Gemini. Radio control sport twin model. For twin .45 engines.

Quote: "So you want to get into twin engine flying? Well, this is the way to start. This is definitely one of the heavenly twins. Try her and you'll never be single again.

It all started at the Scale World Champs at Le Bourget, France. You're going to have to build a twin. Said a little voice in my head. What? said I, figuring that a simple aircraft was problem enough in scale competition. Yep, continued the voice. And it must have flaps, nose gear undercarriage, and be acrobatic. And it must sport a pair of good healthy 45's if we're going to compete on the international scene... Well, I half listened to the little voice, and decided to have some fun while I got used to flying a two engined (I'd hate to really call it a trainer, but really it is) Walter Mitty fighter bomber!

This is definitely one of the heavenly twins, and one that'll get ooh's and ash's from the fellows at the field, It looks good on the ground, and keeps your ego intact while you're back on a trainer, And, of course, in the air the sound of those two little powerhouses in full song during a tow pass is enough to turn on your local Joe Cool himself!

Try her. And you'll never be single again!

Construction. I will assume that this isn't your first aircraft, although it's almost docile enough. I'm not going to dwell on all the little steps in construction but enough of them to make things clear. If you've built a Falcon (oz2424) or a Stik (oz1253) you won't have any problems.

You do have a choice though, between either a built up or foam wing. Both are detailed on the plan..."
