Dave Towell Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 A few years ago I saw a club member flying what looked like 4 planes at once. upon close inspection it was 1 plane, but 4 small ones joined together in a Diamond formation of the red arrows. for those of you who have never seen it the front one has the engine side to for ailerons and back one for elevator. Always wanted to build one and was looking for inspiration and remembered this. Any ideas on what its called please need help. And I know this is pob already on the forum but I don't know what its called so SORRY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Towell Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Yep thats the one.... I'm sure it was at least a plan I remember it in the back of mags in the late 90's early 2000 time frame. Just cant remember the name. And thank for the quick reply that was 2 mins got to be a record or something....... thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatMc Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I think Max Bradley of Grimbsby model centre (& possibly Dave Scholes) flew some time back in the last century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cantwell Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 i think it was Dave Hales who designed it, sadly, he died some time ago, i saw it fly at sandown, remarkbly stable, a bigger one, with actual hawks would be mint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
