The DoubleEnder is an new experimental aircraft derived from the Super Cub. It has two Rotax engines producing 130HP each. The airplane is making
quite a stir in the bush airplane world. There is a good amount of
internet content available and some videos. Links are provided in the
user manual.
This is an extreme STOL aircraft that has redundancy for
safety. An engine out is not an event. It was designed to fly easily
with one engine.
For an added challenge you can water ski with the
tundra tires. Landing with floats is a challenge as well. (Be sure to set
your wave height in X-Plane to less than 0.2 feet)
Included in this package are both tundra and amphibian versions.
