Im consiering taking the other fuselage, bolting it
to mine and making
the worlds first two cockpit glider, similar to the
two cockpit P51
from late WWII.
This has been done already. In Lithuania, Sportine
Aviacija, (aka The
LAK factory) used two L-13 Blanik glider fuselages
to make a two
fuselage glider. On the wing between the fuselages
was mounted a test
rig into which airfoil sections could be mounted. The
idea was to test
airfoils in the real atmosphere.
I was told it flew very poorly and was disasembled
after a short time.
