Default RE: Most manuverable fast plane?


Recty:

Little Tony, Cosmic Wind, Minnow, Alley Cat are semi-scale Reno racers with a lot of compromises toward sport flyers. They are draggy, the fastest "Alley Cat" with a great Jett 90 will get you maby 100-120. Would not recommend any "flips" (snap rolls I think) at speed. My Tony wanted to keep snapping, same with Alley Cat. Loops and rolls are ok, but a little sloppy. You are sort of running backward here trying to go fast with a solid sport motor lucky to hit 13,000rpm. I think the "Intruder" with retracts would be more to your liking. If you want to go fast, find a Diamond Dust, Phenom, or other wing things and put a rever in it. They will do crazy stuff at speeds with no problem. There are several on E-bay RTF now, several new ARF's available. Remember, speed =$$$$ ENJOY
