Does anyone on the forum have one of the dual powered F-9A's?

It appears from exploded views that the same mounting bracket is used front and back?

Can some one confirm?

Thanks,
Gareth

I've heard that the extra power required to run 2 of these primitive motors at once was enough to short cicuit the electrical grid in some small towns. <snickers>

Seriously though, I have never even held one of these so I can't answer that question. I imagine that the mounting wouldn't change as Tyco didn't change the tooling on the shells.

Mantua did make dual (Or "twin") powered "F9's" in the 1990's, maybe even earlier. I've made a dual powered B unit, using a B unit shell plus two A unit motors.
