Comments: Designed by Alan Heim, the plans were drawn from photos and three-views from the Smithsonian Archives division. The model is conventional built up balsa and light plywood construction. Adhesives were epoxy, CA and Elmer's "Pro" wood glue. Build time was approximately 120 hours over six weeks.

If you like biplanes and thought of synchronizing and flying twins are of interest, but you have concerns for stability with one engine out, be concerned no longer, even if you have never flown a twin (this is my first twin), as this subject is very gentle and is well worth modeling
