In all seriousness, Myasishchev really made cool looking planes! |

Knowing the Russian penchant for recyclng technology, the Bounder cockpit might have used elements of a previous Myaschiev (sp) design. Finding even that might be a challenge.

Good thinking, CD...found some of the M-4 Bison at Walkarounds on www.airforce.ru but it is a side-by-side not a tandem set-up...
If the rest of the model is as good as it looks, I'd probably be happy to do my own cockpit...

Notice from these photos that the pilots are hand flying the aircraft. Today, they are just office managers pushing buttons.
I remember trying to connect on a flight from Detroit to NYC. The flight was canceled because the Auto pilot on the DC-9 was not operational. So I asked : did the pilot forget to hand fly the plane? The sad reality is yes, the pilots now adays do not really know how to fly since they only hand fly the TO and landing ( about 2 minutes out of the entire flight ). I think this is the last generation of manned aircraft ( probably commercial planes as well, but a bit slower ). Back on topic. These are really cool looking aircraft despite their short careers. The wing area on this aircraft is so small that the landing speed must have been about 200 MPH. Great progress. I would love to build it. Cheers Isaac |

It just so happens that Mya... did a mockup of the M-50 with a side-by-side configuration...just like the B-52. Still, I'll bet the basic systems/equipment were the same only rearranged.

Curiously enough, it was the M-52...intended as a missile carrier but had quite a few changes to the airframe as well...you probably could make-over a -50 into a -52...

ve done to order. What scale was asked - so I'm doing. By no information yet on the cab. If you find something - at least the minimum required cabin will.
