Well done Bob! Interesting airplane. Thank you for your work.
If I may be bold and add a request to your "To Do" list: please, the North American/Ryan L-17 Navion. The military ordered North American to quit building the Navion when the Saber Jet came along so Ryan was given the contract. I think Ryan produced over a thousand of the Navions. We had a few in our Ft. Eustis flying club back in the 1950s. Bob Penikas Hello everyone, This model gave me much fun in the design, and I hope it gives you the same joy. A lovely and interesting plane. “The Savoia-Marchetti S.55 was a double-hulled flying-boat produced in Italy beginning in 1924. Shortly after its introduction it began setting records for speed, payload, altitude and range. It featured many innovative design features: Al the passengers were placed in the twin hulls, but the pilot and crew captained the plane from a cockpit in the thicker section of the wing between the 2 hulls. The S.55 had two inline counter-rotating propellers achieved by mounting the twin engines back to back. The engines were canted sharply at an upward angle. Two wire-braced booms connected the triple-finned tail structure to the twin hulls and wing. Many variants were manufactured.“ (Wikipedia) …….
