I was peruzing U-tube looking at other FPV vids of EZStars and came across this guy -
He seems pretty cool, good dad - his kids are in a lot of vids but his idea is pretty cool.
Except for cutting the wingtips off...

I love my TwinStar II it was the first plane I ever built but I have never tried a one motor landing. I did however do a 1.5 motor landing when stupid me bent the motor shaft and tried to fly it with not enough thrust coming out one motor. It banked pretty hard I turned around and landed it figuring It wasn't flyable. Although id rather do a no motor landing than a 1 motor landing (Im still not very good at rudder landings). Although if I did do a Tristar I would do what that guy did but have another motor between the two bodies.
Is this what you were talking about?

Yep! Love that plane, not because it's a gutless wonder just because it was the mainstay in Germany during the 30's and 40's...
I watched an entire Military Channel show about it...pretty cool..different.

Also, if you ask me, fairly attractive in the "Greg has a thing for ugly airplanes" kinda way.
Me too.
I believe it was the C-97 Stratofreighter that was as ugly but I loved it - was the cover shot for Clive Cussler's VIxen 03 book - sitting underwater with lights on - LOVE that photo...
This book inspired a book I am (and have been) working on for many years....my story is similiar but different..

Yeah the Stratofreighter is up there for me too, especially with the awkward nose cargo doors open.Me too.
