Cox Profile Scale Reed Speed

<< < (2/7) > >>

Jim Roselle:
Dan,
I have a copy of model aviation with a Bonzo plan from that event. Sounds like your club has some members that would be competetive in the Reed Speed event!

Balsa Butcher:
My only question on the rules is that landing gear may be left off of planes whose full scale counterparts had retractable gear. If speed is the goal why would anyone build anything else? IMHO make LG mandatory, scale location optional. OBTW: Sea Fury and Corsair look great!  8)

Not everyone has a hard surface to fly from; and even if you hand launch grass landings with a gear that small are not pretty.
 Thanks, the Corsair is mine. I'm going to build a aerodynamically cleaner version for this go 'round.

Here is a link to all if the finished models from the first running:

Aw gross, my Mustang is still paintless in that picture. LL~
That was a fun contest. Like most of the other guys, I knew nothing of speed planes before you started this. I bet the next go-round will see some hotter action.

Any report on how the P-39 flew?
