Going to put together a simple airplane for a cox .010.

We do a lot of demos and this would be a hit. 

Just to fly maybe a loop and 8's

thinking 80  100 square inches wing a sheet of blue core foam about  12 inch span with a small carbon rod. 

Lines 10 feet?   I could almost self launch it.

Any reference designs?

Hi Dave, in the very early 1960's my ex-wife built a Midwest Sniffer(FF) and powered it with a TD .010.

the model has 139 sq"s and weighed about 3.5 ozs. and it climbed straight up(spiral) like a Zipper.

That was in Albuquerque,  the flying field was close to 6,00 feet.

I recommend you go to the trouble of using a built up design like the Mini Zilch or better yet, a

Southwest 1/2A Snapper.  Use 25-30 foot lines(.008"-.012" stranded cable). A 1/2oz tank or better

yet an appropriate sized balloon will do the trick. Best of luck.   For Historical(Hysterical..) reference;

Bare built a 160 sq" scaled down PDQ Lion Tamer powered with a PAW .5cc diesel; and it literally

screwed him into the ground using 35' X .012" lines.    I wish you the best of luck with whatever

you end up building and flying.

Tony G...Yes, it's me, back again after mucho health BS.

My Micro Ringmaster Stunter has a 17 1/4" wingspan and 53 1/2 square inches. A Baby ringmaster has 95 square inches of wing area. That is too much for a Tee Dee .010.
