28% scale BN-2 Islander (twin engined)

This model is powered by two 60cc engines. The full size went into production in 1968 and is still produced today.

Credit where it's due but, of all the aircraft they could have put their skills towards they chose a Bongo? In saying that, it's the best performing Bongo I've ever seen!! Kudos.

I'm guessing they chose that aircraft because it's the easiest twin to build or to fly. Just speculating...but agree it's not the most exciting RC twin you'll see.

hey have you seen the pix of the beautiful BIG Caribou Wayne L (this forum) is building? some pix posted here somewhere? it will really be something to see in the air for sure...

 

amazing to think that BN decided the airframe could use another engine, they mounted it at the top of the fin and called it the Trilander - nice aircraft too
