Damon
It's from Al Master's plans. It's 58" WS & length. Takes .25's, but I've got a .32 for up front
(yeah, big upgrade from 25
) I put SpringAir retracts in and the wing is foam instead of being built-up, the plans show flaps but I don't intend to put them in. I hope to finish it soon, depends on how quickly I can paint the 2 190-D9's I'm also working on.

RE: DO-335 build
Nice plane 
I'm planning to build one from the exact same plans (as soon as I finish my Hawk Major). Already have the plans and I ordered pre-made engine nacelles. If I remember correctly, the front engine can be anything from a .25 to a .40. I'm thinking 4-strokes though
Have you already decided on a paint scheme?

RE: DO-335 build
Just a standard factory finish, lt blue bottom two shades of green overall. Plans really show 2
.25's with plain bushed engine in back. Too much weight in tail with 4 stroke for me. Plus you may need to minor redesign to accommodate one in the rear. I know of a larger one(2 .60 size engines) that the guy put 2 .70 4 strokes and he said he needed to modify the tail somewhat.
Work has slowed as I got a hair for something else but I've started to glass the rest of the plane and will continue to work on it. I know it's not best I build a couple of planes at once.
