Saw this Corvair engined beauty at OSH! True ingenuity at work! Builder and wife were keeping the fingerprints off of the bird!
But why a twin? Surely the size of this only warrants a single engine. This would have to be the weirdest-looking twin ever built.
Alan....they wanted the 2 engs. to fly safely over lake Winnatonka 's great expanses
Great Shot James............

Neat; beautifully executed! Looks like a miniature Piper Apache. Probably flies about as well on one engine as the Apache did!
Have to agree that from a time and effort standpoint, this project makes zero sense. But that is the beauty of homebuilding and EAA - people build all kinds of crazy stuff just to prove they can! Very impressed.
A twin, but not a complex aircraft. Not a lot of those.
Great use for the Chevrolet Turbo-Air 6 engine. Later iterations made 140 HP.
Alan, what do you mean why two engines!? Sorry, but there is no way that ship is "over-powered". It looks very well balanced aerodynamically. Your eye is just unaccustomed to low aspect ratio wings.
Found this in researching this beautiful creation:
... “TwinJAG”, a creation of “Jim And Ginger” Tomaszewski of Clayton Georgia.
The airplane started life as an RV-6A and flew as such for nine years before Jim decided to break out the Sawzall and convert the single to a twin.

Looks fab. Great shot. Even more purposeful than the RV6 it derives from. Super home build effort.
Great shot and very interesting. Myself, I would hunt down and restore a Wing Derringer to fit the bill.
