Twin Piper Cub was a thing. A weird thing, but a thing.

Even weirder; apparently it was made using a Cub and a Cub Coupe. It still only had two seats too. Only the right fuselage was used and instead of some fancy synchronizer to keep the props from hitting the added a spacer to move the left prop forward.

That makes the tri-pacer twin look almost normal!

But that has one fuselage where the OP has a dual fuselage.

Yes, I just included it because it was the next design attempt from Harold Wagner to create a budget twin engine aircraft.

This and the Twin Ercoupe, they’re like cousins!

ah that explains it a bit better, wondered how they engineered it to try and prevent blades from clashing

It’s disappointing, I was hoping for some clever meshing instead of just an offset.

that’s what I was expecting but the potential for the 2 props to clash is rather high due to rpm fluctuation amongst other things

Yeah, you need to have some mechanism to keep them in time. I think there are some multi-prop helicopters with blades that can mesh?
