One of the reasons why I decided to come back to the hobby, was to try out FPV (First Person View) flying. With the A1-C getting close to its first flight, I started to think of a plane to properly experiment with flying through a camera (or more than one), but not only that.
By far the biggest limit I had was space, for storage, for transport to the field in the cabrio, for eventually ship everything to the new country the day we will move again. This not only limits the overall dimensions of the future project, but it also means I can’t mantain a big fleet of planes with different uses.
So, in the first iteration, the project “18” (a little pun with myself, to remember the year I started to work on it this time), i was aiming at a plane which had to:
Putting all together, my research went to planes designed in the 20’s to late 30’s, with their simple but elegant lines, generous surfaces, forgiving flight characteristics. After few weeks I went for the Stinson Reliant, starting to design a possible fuselage structure and feasibility of the whole fpv installation.
In an effort to increase payload, improve reliability and performance, I then opted for a twin engine design. The construction gets more complicated but it’s a little price to pay for having a much more interesting plane to fly both in line of sight and first person view.
Back to study, the choice was once again a plane designed in the 30’s, the beech model 18.
Looking for informations on the Beech, I found out about a particular version which was developed to train crews for the WWII bombers. Called AT11 Kansan, it featured a glass nose and two gunner positions, one on the top of the fuselage, one below the tail.
Since the two versions are identical except for a few sections, I am currently trying to design the plane with replaceable hatches to switch between them. This way you can have the lighter and more aerodynamical standard d18 and the better camera positions of the At-11.

Il progetto del Twin Beech era già il primo in molte cose: la prima riproduzione, il primo bimotore, il primo con funzioni avanzate, con carrelli
