RE: The Badius Owners Club
Doug, You'll like the HET-RC p-40. My Yak is made by HETrc and it flys awesome when I don't have things screwed up on it. The p-40 and the Yak are basically the same plane. The build instructions actually are labeled Yak-1 / P-40. I think only difference between the two is the blown plastic nose cone and the canopy. It's a very very fast plane. Oh, and I kept thinking that it didn't look like I had much aileron throw with mine, but it really doesnt need much.
Sticks, I know what you mean about doing a roll and losing altitude, the formosa and the Yak both do that, But the mustang loses a lot more altitude than they do. I think it's because the roll rate isn't as fast as the other two. Probably the difference between a 36 inch wing and a 44 inch wing. When I have time I am going to re-do the ailerons, either give them more throw, or make them larger. THen I should be able to have a better roll rate so that it doesn't lose as much alt in the process of completeing the roll.
Beave,, sweet looking,, (or should I say nasty looking?) plane.
