Plans for push pull plane

When I was stationed at Keesler AFB back in the day I would love to watch the C-130s go out to chase some storm. They had one plane in particular that I really thought was cool. It was a small (maybe two person?) plane. It had a prop on the front and one on the back. I think it may have been an O-2.

Ok, that out of the way, has anyone seen plans for a plan like that? I would ask for B-36 plans, but that seems like it would require more knowledge on my part of flying and building.

Here was my ridiculous attempt. It was based mostly on a boredom.

Timmy P made some really nice plans for a Cessna Skymaster 337

Good Luck!

Thanks, this is on my list of things to build. I always loved those unique planes. I saw tons of them in the Air Force. Another odd one was nicknamed "Snoopy". I believe it was a C-135 with a large radar in the nose.

That Cessna flies great - I got to see it at FFE last year too.

There is also a really cool Japanese fighter push/pull design that was designed as part of the forum challenge this year

And I think there was another one too, but I'm having a senior memory moment and don't know which is was...
