Crash Test Staggerwing

The 29.5" span rubber-powered free-flight version of 1937 Beechcraft Model 20M twin Staggerwing concept design had a mishap...make that two. Both were caused by one of the props locking up, or having the RPM significantly lowered at launch. Not wanting to have this happen a third time, I built a faux nacelle for testing purposes, which allowed me to get a clear view of what happens to the motor & prop shaft at max winds. Filmed by Tom Hallman, with contributions from Charlie Sauter. Music via ArtList.io. **This test is valuable information for any model that either has a tight nose or tail, or is trying to squeeze long motors into a narrow or short space.** Major thanks to friend & mentor Bob Wetherall, who turned me on to this design in October of 2024. He wrote, "...The attached file (sketch) is a kind of food for thought suggestion in case you are looking for another concept idea for a build. It has a retro futuristic look that could enable some artistic license. Could end up a capable flyer..." Son of a gun, he knew for sure it would turn my head! Thx again, Bob.
