The Bushmaster is a modern deriative of the grand old Ford Tri-motor transport,before the Dakota came along this was the machine that pioneered the main air routes of America paving the way for the DST (Douglas sleeper transports) and promoting aviation and air travel for the masses.
Despite its belt and braces looks this Tri-motored design lends itself as an ideal subject for a flying scale model,I have seen both three and single engined examples flying and they behave very well indeed,the potential for electric power is all here as well,three small electric motors coupled electronically would give outstanding reliability,with a good deep wing Clark YH wing section she will be clawing for the air,imagine what a sight this would be in your circuit at the flying field?
