4 engine Grumman Goose!
Have anyone on here seen this before, I stumped on this while doing some research and thought to share with you all on here, this could be a very unique subject if someone wants to model it...

Re: 4 engine Grumman Goose!
Looks like a candidate for an overpowered seaplane,almost 1 hp for every 9 lbs of wing load in the original.More engine than wing,haha.As an 8 foot wingspan plane,you would really have to build a strong wing saddle on the fuse,and hope your airfoil would have enough room for all the wires to the outboard engines/motors.Can we say it would fly like a brick?

Re: 4 engine Grumman Goose!
You might have to build in a little more step on the hull as the additional weight (batteries and engines)for the size would necessitate getting up on step to build up speed to lift off.

Re: 4 engine Grumman Goose!
I think that one flew on thrust rather than on the wing! Maybe a good project for some scale minded 3D guy? If there is such a thing!
