sfGnome Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That's more a shed than a plane! Still, every man needs his shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guernsey Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I think it is FANTASTIC !!! It is not ugly in my eyes, it is a tail dragger and has THREE engines so if one engine breaks it's Through Bolts you still have two left. Alan Marriette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 How do you see where you.are going? They have got the engines as close together as possible to reduce assymetric effects. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guernsey Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 The passengers can see through windows in the nose between the engines, the pilot apparently climbs up the fuselage from the tail and is located on the top of the fuselage. I'm not sure if he is enclosed or in an open cockpit. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guernsey Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Just did a Google search....Pilot was in an open cockpit just behind the main central engine. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
