I don't believe that Super Cub (not a J-3). There is no way to get
into the one on the left without switching the doors to the left side.
That means moving all the stuff on the left sidewall to the right
sidewall (What is there on this wall; I have forgot; trim? throttle?
what else?

Not an urban legend at all ,goto the Lak factory site and you will see
pictures of one built to test wing sections mounted between the two
fuselages .

Somebody built a 4 place glider with twin fuselages. It was based on
Blanik parts. A center section, two outside wings, two fuselages and
tails.
I believe it was built by a German Blanik repair station.

Just like the SZD I have mentioned earlier.

A 1/48 scale plastic model kit of this Twin Blanik can occasionally be
found on Ebay. I'd like to know what happened to the real one.

Such a Blanik was built in Lithuania by the current LAK factory for
airfoil testing. I have photos of it (not digital). There is a copy of
it in the Swedish book "Segelflyg" (written by me and a good friend). It
is a 600 page book on gliding for student pilots, unfortunately in Swedish.

I have seen photos of a real 4 place sailplane, but I need a good malt
and some good music to help remember where I have seen those photos.

If you're designing your own fuselage.....an ASH25/Nimbus/DG
biplane perhaps?

Be worth a trip down under just to see it.

If you put quad controls in it could be even more fun
- instructor says 'you have control...not you...you...no
you..'

The idea of a joyride machine with multiple places
was discussed
at our club a year back and some design ideas tossed
around ,
the concensus was something like the DG505 wings attached
to a
light tube and fabric fuse with either a triangle seat
pattern or a
4 seater star pattern.
This concept was emailed to the owner of DG and the
answer came back
that DG had discussed this very idea for a limited
production run
but the engineering loads on the fuselage wing junction
were very
high and would take a lot of redesigning to get it
to work and secondly
the DG505 wingset were simply not strong enough to
take those loads.
A Nimbus4D or an ASH25 wingset maybe?
