"Jay Honeck" wrote Actually, those were both very large R/C models, according to Air & Space magazine. We're talking in the hundreds of pounds. (And the Spruce Goose model was supposedly ELECTRIC powered, which I thought was interesting...) -- Jay Honeck Can you imagine trying to start 8 engines, and keep them running? Electric makes multi's much easier. I often wonder if the Spruce Goose was capable of flying out of ground effect, with the engines that were on it. Has anyone ever done a modern aero analysis on it? -- Jim in NC
