A show of hands...
« on: December 23, 2011, 09:53:15 PM »
Hi guys,

in a conversation with Eliott Scott earlier today we discussed the possiblity of some new 40 size models, these would be of Windy's designs that Eliott listed in a reply in another post.  ( http://stunthanger.com/smf/index.php?topic=24513.0 )

My 2 questions are
? 1- would anyone be seriously interested in a 40 size Cardinal, Strega, Typhoon or Tsunami ?
and
? 2- which would be the preferred one?


Before I can make any decisions as to physical sizes or commit to making any of these
can I see a show of hands (so to speak) to the above two questions.    D>K
Thank you and God Bless
Walter

STREGA! It has a 50" span, so it fits todays smaller vehicles. Make its wing mounted gear an option similar to the fuse mounted gear on the Cardinal Evolution.

Walter,...

I'll raise my hand!!

A 40 size version of any of Windy's designs would be fantastic.

My personal preference would be for a Cardinal, only because I've had a couple already.

Hmm .40 sized cardinal with a .75 in it.......

Well, even though postage to the UK would probably be prohibitive I'd have to go with Windy's Miss Ashley P51 No experience of it obviously but from what I've seen a smaller version for non piped 40's would be a really good choice.
