D600 Project
 

  The project is to build a very very large scale Dewoitine 600.
It was a twin engined hight altitude bomber project, from 1939.
It had never flewn and the full scale wooden model has been destroyedin june 1940,
because of armistice in Europe.

A friend gave me a couple of  large machine saw engines.
As they are very powerfull and heavy, building project must be largeenought.
Wing span 5,50 m !

Only four pages desctription are available, thru
"Les avions Dewoitine, by Raymond Danel and jean Cuny,
Docavia, Editions Larivière"
 

It's suffisent to estimate shape : they are quite simple  and easyto build.

Forms are very pure, it'll be an excellent gilder.
Before building a very large scale, why not to try a small one,
electric powered ? something as a 1/2 A...

A so thin fuselage might produce a low drag , isn't it ?

They will be converted to electronic ignition.
 
 

In fact, will they be too much powerfull for this project ?
