That's a great discovery. Welch designations OW-10 to -15 were all assigned to unbuilt experimental aircraft projects, but this is the first time I've seen one of these. Thanks.

Thank you my dear Skyblazer,


and later,I will mention some small info about those projects.

Neat, and the argument that two separate cockpits in two separate fuselages provides redundancy is interesting, though I don't quite understand what kind of dwarves were intended to operate those tail turrets.

Was there any drawings to OW-10 & OW-11 Radio Controlled aircraft ?.
