MikeC Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Seriously??? Never heard of this one before, following with interest. The props look too close together, how did they propel the aircraft without clashing, physically and/or aerodynamically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I wondered the same, then closer examination of the pics and upper-view drawing showed that the left one had an elongated axle, making it rotate in a different plane than the right one.

Hubert Makes sense: but I would have thought the turbulence created where the blades overlap - one going "up" and one going "down" - would create a bit of an airflow issue.

AEROPOXY Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm pretty sure it's not two PA22-108 Colts, as the Colts didn't have the teardrop window. Looks like two Tripacer from the window arrangement. Never knew about this combo Peter Yeah, Tri-Pacer , always confused with recognising these two versions. I'm more fond of taildraggers .

Guest Peterpools Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I use to own a Colt for many years and just love 'em. Toughest part of flying a Colt - finding the starter button. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEROPOXY Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Its time to finish this 18 months story.
