The outline drawing, #3, shows the proportions of the present-day twin pusher. SOME of the builders prefer to place their contest hopes in twin tractors rather than in twin pushers. Drawing This ruling cut down the BILL BARNES #2 shows the general outline of this type. In respect to performance, it is a toss-up between the twin tractor and the twin pusher. Charles H. Grant, old-time modeler, back in 1930 flew a twin tractor that closely rivaled any twin pusher. Its steep climb and stable flight in a 30-mile-an-hour wind showed that the twin-tractor design, if properly worked out, is always a contest threat.
