How about a Tri Motor Ford?

Would it be sacrilege if the nose used a dummy motor?

Absolutely... ;)

Yes and it would be a like what HK did when they dummied the two outboard motors on their version of the JU-52.

I'd be fine with that.

A trimotor should have three motors;-)

Lol I guess that's a clear enough answer :)

While a student at the Purdue Airport the students in the AMT program repaired and painted a Globe Swift,.

I'm gonna throw my vote in for more crop dusters. Most would be able to handle grass run ways and the popularity is pretty good as seen by the popularity of the Hanger 9 Pipers Pawnee in 33%, 40, and 15e sizes, the newish Pawnee Brave night flyer, and the Dynam AgWagon.

A Grumman G-164B AgCat would be great. And there have been a few Grumman aircraft lately. So the licensing and royalties might not be too difficult to acquire.

AirTractor have also been pretty friendly towards model makers. So an AT-502 could be a great venture as well.

Most crop dusters also are fairly basic. No need for retractable gear. So the price can be kept low or put towards a larger size instead.

Aeronca Champ, 1600mm sized.

I second the Champ idea! Would also love to see a nice Taylorcraft in 1400-1600 size. Durafly had a great Monocoupe in an 1100mm size, that I still enjoy flying.
