Which airplane to build for a PA 40 ?
« on: January 01, 2014, 04:01:16 PM »
Ok, just thought I would ask the very knowledgeable bunch here on a recommendation of a good advanced stunter in the SV, TP style of airframe to suit a PA 40 U/L on a pipe?
I have built an SV-22 for a PA 65 and it flew very nice. Maybe an SV-11?

Hi  Rob

  Think about the big Vector that has a 630 sq'' wing area
the sv11 may be a little big for the 40u/l

I have an RSM Oriental Plus with PA40UL on pipe, the model that was recommended to me when I asked the same question a few years back. Very nice laser-cut kit, 603", pipe tunnel as part of the design.

A Vector 40 ARF placed very high at the most recent California ARF contest with that power train. I think one from kit or plans would work really well at the elevation and winds at Namao skool. Good to see you back already, Rob! See if you can get Willvis to get out and fly...  H^^ Steve

Look forward to seeing you again Rob, we have missed you! I could make a motor recommendation, but Bruce might not be very happy with me.  >:D

Hi Chris, yes, he would be "SHOCKED" I'm sure, if I went that way  ;)
