Title: Some kind of record
Post by: johnt4051 on May 23, 2021, 01:02:15 PM
In sports, they keep records and stats on everything.  In our hobby, not so much.  Therefore, I can claim a record without having to prove it.

On Saturday, I set the world record for the largest difference in weight of two CL airplanes flown on the same day.

I started the day flying my Wee Wun, a British-designed plane with a 15-1/2-inch wingspan and a total flying weight of 2-3/8 oz.  Power is a Cox .010.  I built it to prove that you could build a stuntable plane for an .010.  It stunts.

Later in the day, I flew my Crossfire, a 65-oz. electric PA plane.

That is a difference of 62-5/8 oz., if my math is correct.

Do I get a certificate, or a trophy, or something?

That Wee Wun is pretty cool, I have both an .010 and an .020 that could use a ride......

If you build a Wee Wun for .010, make the nose 1/2" longer and move the leadouts back a little from the plans.
