I was looking over some of Martin Hollman's old Engineering reports in my company's document archives, and decided to look at pictures of his Stallion aircraft, and this Twin Sedan turned up in the search results. It looks interesting, but probably was not all that great.

Kind of looks like a Citabria fuse with two engines and nose gear. One of the few twins I can think of with fixed-pitch props.
For training purposes, it had pretend gear and prop levers. :roll:

Sounds like a pretty lousy plane: http://www.airport-data.com/articles/view/N9931Y-The-Unusual-Twin-Engine-1963-Champion-Lancer-402-Rev-1:40.html

Why does that look like a baby Aero Commander to me?
