UWS-4 design on Youtube. You may find the design interesting.
Neat plane but why ?You could build a Lockeed Vega
I’m not actually familiar with this plane although I have to admit it seems a little large for my needs....or a Fokker Super Universal if you don’t feel like making concrete fuselage moulds.
You need to build yourself a Beetlemaster. Two seats, 150 MPH cruise at 60% power (about 4.5 GPH), climb on one engine, no asymmetric thrust gotchas, etc.There is so much about those airplanes that I like especially the 337 on floats……
How could we "pimp" that ride? There is a pressurized version of the C-337. Hang a diesel powerplant on each end. I think the P337 holds 6 people (at least 5 for sure). It has retractable gear. It can make it to the flight levels. Fill the booms with fuel in addition to the fuel tanks in the wings for 4000 mile range. Maybe Raptor should have copied the P337????There is so much about those airplanes that I like especially the 337 on floats……

P-34 you are too literal. You asked for a high wing plane with the pilot ahead of the wing and it was delivered. You could never afford one anyway. There would be floods of answers if it was common or useful. It’s a very wasteful configuration when it comes to space and weight.
Well, it has very poor performance for the installed power, reportedly flies like a pig, less than 2 dozen were made (many destroyed in an act of arson at the factory), it isn't available new anymore, and can't be built as a E-AB. Other than that, it would be a good candidate.... I’m kind of surprised somebody didn’t bring up the optica earlier it seems like it wonderful answer to the mission ,it’s just a little expensive and heavy and slow and I’m not sure whether to call a high wing or not. But still a great plane
Are there any common aircraft with 4 in a line seating or even 1-2-1 ?
B-58 Hustler?I can't get you 1-1-1-1, but how about 1-1-1? Do I get extra credit for getting the pilot in front of the wing?
BTW, the obvious solution is a pusher configured engine(s). That moves the CG back far enough to let you move the pilot seat forward.
Dyke Delta had 1-3, and great visibility.Just wanted to repeat the question
That would be a bit ambitious, for sure. Click the 1-1-1 link to youtube in the quoted post.B-58 Hustler?
