Mustang Flapjack (finished page 5)

[Tophe]

Thanks!
As far as I am concerned, I don't require airplanes to fly: for me they are just pretty objects (except the very old pioneers, not aerodynamic).
And concerning the what-if absurd spirit, here are cousins of the Twin-Flaptang:

Now I have another idea for something I must build! The list is very long! Don't worry, it would be different from the Flapstang.

Thanks to be inspired by my delirium.

At first I thought you meant this:

Thanks I did not know this, I may use the profile to add a Mustang/Monogram-Flapjack hybrid. I may try.

[Scotaidh]

I thought this version might be more to your taste, Tophe.

That last one looks like it would fly like a Catherine wheel
Unless of course the rear engine is a pusher?
And like a lot of Tophe designs on the Mustang I'm strangely drawn to it (luckily I don't have a Flapjack, although Mustangs...)

Wow! So good a dream! And now the name Scotaidh appears in gold letters in the History of Asymmetric Aircraft (at the temporary end of my site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/Asymm_addition.htm )...

Oh - thanks, buddy!  Really, compared to you I'm just a neophyte at this stuff.
I was just thinking I might have to try one of these - I have lots of small plastic saucers I bought for the Plate challenge.  I'd need to get in some cheap Mustangs - not my favourite plane, so I don't have any in stock, so to speak.

 I am glad you are inspired...

The missing links are proving the Monogram Flapjack was a Mustang (thanks!), see:

another excellent thread ! 

full of surprises and mind-boggling stuff 

[Tophe]

Thanks a lot!
While, now, the crazy delirium is finished and, seriously, I present the 2 "normal" versions of Scotaidh's asymmetric marvel:

[Scotaidh]

Ha!  The four-engined one reminds me of a flying squirrel! 

[kerick]

With the two cockpits can it fly equally well in either direction???
Can't wait to see what the landing gear looks like!

Yes, but the problem was creating a Variable Profile wing (to produce lift in both directions).

Can't wait to see what the landing gear looks like!

Sorry I will not build this one (only the P-51DB-390), but probably there would have been 4 main landing gears.

I like the pusher version, bit it'd need VERY tall landing gear, as the Flapjack had a huge angle of attack for take-off.
