Did they ever make a Magister with a conventional tail?

The number 2 prototype had a conventional tail.

Shiny!

Mustang tail would go well on one. Tophe?

I could try a Magister/Mustang mix if I find a profile of this Magister version. Not easy.
Or is this view enough? https://i12.servimg.com/u/f12/09/00/99/77/p1140011.jpg

The Fouga looks good. I just don't see how its engines can drag it out of the water. They aren't exactly over-powered.

in whiff world, gravity is light

Tophe · July 25, 2020, 09:32:18 AM

And viscosity of water is almost zero (in dreams, no drag)...

Jens Baganz (jemiba) did a 3-view that's over on Secretprojects:

Thanks! This is perfect for me to draw a Mustang/Magister mix! (both as landplane and seaplane)

EDIT: I mage these drawings, but I posted them at https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=4461.2460 not to hijack the thread here, devoted to admiring Ericr's model creations

so I found another cheap kit of the He111z, just too tempting

and I plunged into my stash to find appropriate flying boats

(and it is asymmetric)

That is one CLEVER mix!

Tophe · July 26, 2020, 03:45:48 AM

Gorgeous asymmetric seaplane! Lovely!

(the Bv-138 part is not twin-boom anymore but you are forgiven)

It is indeed and it's something you could imagine B&V designers toying with after a good night down at the local Beirkeller

Now that could open a can of worms

Don't some Astrophysicists actually believe something very similar ?

Richard Vogt and the boys from Canadair went out on the town and following the consumption
of too many Rye & Gingers stumbled back to the engineering offices and this was the result.
