Just wondering insteading adding 2 more motors on it, what about putting a couple of bigger motors on?
We had a guy that came to one of our fly-in's and he built planes like this. They flew great to!
I have a JR 2.4 radio and can fly all my planes with just the one TX, just have to buy the RX to go into the planes.
Get - R - Done and post pictures of it in the air.

Because it's a Herc....they're supposed to have four engines!

Pretty cool! My Dad was really into R/C planes back in the 50's and 60's. He actually designed and built some of the first R/C systems in the late 50's, the old reed receiver Min-X systems. No proportional control then - you had buttons you pushed on the transmitter, and the faster/more times you pushed the button, the larger the servo movement. Generally two channels, for rudder and elevator, but he did build a few with 3 channels so you could add ailerons or motor speed. You couldn't have too many channels because you couldn't simultaneously control that many buttons, not like the joystick transmitters that came along in the mid 60's. The planes had to be big to carry all the hardware - wet cell NiCad batteries and the electronics (of course that was before IC's and such). I still have a bunch of his old equipment and even some of his planes and plane kits from back in the 60's in the attic. Stick built balsa wings and fuselages were covered with silk, and "doped". Sure brings back some childhood memories!
I was never much into planes for myself - I was into R/C boats. I still have a few, including a 40" long hydroplane that really screams with a water cooled 60 size engine.

I have been flying since I was 13. All I fly now is 3D. I have had 100cc and 50cc 3D birds. Never been really scared to get them down on the Deck. Nowadays I don't have to get to the field so all I have is 25 and up to 60 size profile planes. I fly them around the house or at the school yard when I have time to sneek off. I have also pretty much gone all electric and I am serously thinking of converting my 60 size primo and mojo to electric along with my Lamyak 40 profiles.

What motor do you have on the U Can Do? I have a couple of DLE 30s I like a lot.
Here is a couple of my Planes. This a Giant U Can Do 3-D. It has a 4 hp gas motor, and is my favorite plane to fly.  This is my son laying under the wing of my 35% Carden Edge. It has a 10 hp gas motor, and a 104" wing span. I've never been able to get comfortable flying it because of the $ I have in it.

This is the type of flying I do. Not quit as good as this guy but i can do most of what he can. I meet Andy at the PRO BRO in nashville a few years ago awesome guy.
If anyone is around Liepers Fork this last weekend of September 22 through the 25th go out and check out the PROBRO event there. They have night flying and their is always some awesome 3D pilots there. It is a blast also. It is unlike any other fly in or get together i have ever been to. Especially during the iron man competition.

Allen  You all are already making me want to git r done even more now. Then I can have pics and aerial videos to post here and brag  As for the Tx I am just going to get another 72mHz because that's the Rx I have in the plane, don't want to spend the extra money on a new 2.4 Rx and Tx, trying to keep it affordable for now. A 2.4 conversion is a possibility for the future though.
Leave the two motors in place and just claim it's a C-123 or a C-160.

Heck no man!  It wouldn't be right. The Herc is one of my favorite planes, next to the C-5 galaxy...
oh crap...
I just gave myself an idea like a virus... now I'm going to have to build a C-5 too. OK I will build just the plane, and leave it in storage for a long time till I have the money for the electronics to put inside.
