you are so right.
I will put this up against the big boys on a good day.
Providing the wind isn't too bad.
at 13 ounces and an .049 the wind could quickly become your enemy.
This one now runs electric and although it is heavier is still flies very well.
I do not expect that the plastic one will fly 1-10th as well but it should still be fun and if the WenMac proves to not be up to it I will try a killer bee.
Bill,
I like my BareCat. See Picture Gallery, District 5, one row up from bottom. Norvel .061 , Bladder config. Flies great on 48' lines. Will be trying shorter lines for windy days.
Would be interested in more info re your electric conversion (ie motor, battery type and location, cg location, all up weight, lap times, line length etc). I just might have to build one w/electric.
Thanks,
Roger V.
