RCM PV-1 Ventura
Anybody see the April RCM mag with this plan in it?Always liked that plane.Being new at twins and reading some of the horror stories about stalling etcSeems tapered wings are a problem that way/the posts on the DC-3 I have read.This thing has lot of taper.Just wondered what some of you that are more knowledgable on twins think.Plan to try that GP P-38 when it comes out.Still haven't repaired my ill-fated Twinstar or found another.Big swap in Tucson this weekend will watch there for one.
Another thought am I just cheap or are plans awfully expensive?They want $18 for the plan for it.HAven't bought plans since the 60s they were lot cheaper then.

Shouldn't be any trouble to get a 3-view and do your own plan. The one in RCM was as boxy as could be, I'm sure you could make a lot better one.
Only thing in particular I'd say is make the wing root incidence about 4 degrees positive, and twist the wing to zero incidence at the tip. No big deal.
And if you build it electric you don't have any "Twin-Engine Gotchas" to worry about.
Just go for it.
