How do you do it?
I swear no one else here has ever imagined such a thing let alone recognise it!

treadigraph 12th Jul 2022 18:09

Popped up alongside the Twin Mooney, but I have seen the image before! See if anyone else can i/d it...

Everything better than the quad Anson:

The twin engine Piper Super Cub?

meleagertoo 12th Jul 2022 22:27

Quad Anson? That's just so wrong. Faithful Annie never behaved like that!

This droid is different.

No, not a super cub. (Imagine a 'cub' being involved in anything as gross as this?)
Nor anything exactly "twin engined" either. Far worse than that,

But I think you have the answer...

Noyade 12th Jul 2022 23:10

Looking at Aerofiles - Wagner converted a few single-engined Pipers into 'twins' - yours looks to be the Wagner 2 or Wagner Twin 2.

A little more on Wagner from an old disheveled magazine. Even the captionist was a little confused - labeling the Twin Tri-Pacer version as the Twin Cub...

Noyade has it, the extraordinary Wagner twin "Tripacer" according to my source.

The yellow aircraft is I think a twin cub, the tripacer only(!) had one fuselage but two engined grafted on the front. Prop seperation was achieved by staggering the engines fore and aft by six inches or so.

Text suggests left hand engine was mounted parallel but had a crank shaft extension.

I hope they did the resonance and vibration calcs...

Noyade 13th Jul 2022 23:24

Cheers. Treaders, you were first with 'knowing' the answer - would you like control?
Or maybe you, Heinrich Dubel? Wanna have a go?

Failing that - Open House.

treadigraph 14th Jul 2022 03:35

Over to Heinrich I'd suggest...

Never mind that! What about CG calculations? There's an extra 250 pounds forward of the firewall

Noyade 20th Jul 2022 22:37

Retaking the open house.
We've has tails and noses - here's a midsection.

No "Dover Soles"!
And the riveting is not up to Vicker's standards.

CoodaShooda 21st Jul 2022 12:34

Consolidated B-24?

Asturias56 21st Jul 2022 18:00

Don't think so - wing looks set lower, and those don't look like B-24 nacelles - I 'm wondering about Dornier............
