Swedish Navy DH.114 Heron

[loupgarou]

*Just had a thought.  DH Albatross California Condor.  Longer fuselage, Eight engines.  Very very long wings...

As for the Cali Condor, BRING IT ON!   

As I said, I have two Herons.  One old, one new.  Now, just thinking out loud here but if I cut the outboard sections off one set of wings and then split what's left lengthwise I can match up the leading edges and the trailing edges and plate the gap to give me longer wings with greater chord at the roots but the same proportions as the originals (just longer).  I would then be able to use the new chord dimension as a measurement for where to cut the fuselages to extend the length with what would in effect be a plug over the wing roots.  A second plug ahead of the leading edge might also be required to restore visual balance.  Also longer stabilisers and maybe a taller fin.

So you will be doing a 6 ( or 8 ?) engines plane, if I have understood.
I had done the opposite looong ago (early seventies ?) building a Dove from an Airfix Magazine article.

Heres my "ample"powered version.

8.  'cause if i'm doing all that work it'd be silly not to go OTT   
But it's just a thought ATM.
