Blackburn B.44

[leaded50]

This plane didnt get far than a fullscale mockup, before cancelled. A very interesting plane though, with its flying boat retractable hull on a fighter..
I made it in foamboard at 1150mm wingspan, with landingear retracts for hull, and sponsoons. And of course a counter rotating prop system as the original.

yeas, it did. More or less a bit overpowered (gets straight up without any trouble) Found that the retract hull servo is too small, and will be changed though... deppending on angle of incident, it have some trouble raise it.

its a "ready setup" from CRM. Dual brushless motors where motoraxle from the rear motor, goes through the front motors hollow axle to prop.
