New Toy for 2010
« on: March 11, 2010, 12:15:47 PM »
**************************
 Have just a couple more things to do to it and will have a new plane for 2010.    Thought I'd post a couple of pictures here.   The plane is a Wedell-Williams profile,  about 60" and an ST .51 for power.

How well does the straight-wing-with-flaps fly?

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Those racers with the big round engines you'd think would make "funny looking" profiles, but I agree, it adds something special to a profile model, especially. I noticed that on Phil Coopy's Gee Bee.

Really works with the Wendell Williams, for sure  H^^ Wonder what else would be a good candidate?

I like it Dalton.  I tried to sneak Phil's Gee Bee in my flight box Larry but it wouldnt fit and he caught me.  Not really...I did like that plane though.  Dalton I know it is gonna fly like a bird.
