You only need to watch that beauty lawn dart one time when reusing rubber bands a second or third time. Some how the cost of new bird outweighs the cost of new rubber bands, especially in Oklahoma winds. 20MPH wind here is a calm day.

My recommendation would be a Sukhoi 26 designed by Nick Zirolli. It was published as a free plan in Model Airplane News in the Jan 1994 magazine. It was, and still is, a great plane. I can't begin to tell you the fun I had with it and how much I learned with it. Flew it with an OS .10 but blew off the balloon tank. I think the new miniature gear would work even better. Found a link showing the magazine and it is below. Other articles, or maybe even the plans, are probably out there too.

Matadco, you guys ok up there? The winds were well in excess of 20mph, by about 10X.

Back in the single channel days, I had insufficient gum bands on a single channel Goldberg 1/2-A Falcon. Lost both wing trailing edge shims for handling wind during a pull out (opposite rudder) from a spiral dive. That was a handful until the engine ran dry.

I lived in Roswell and serviced Clovis, Carlsbad, Hobbs, and all easter NM back in the mid '60s. Piror I grew up in Texas Panhandle. I just thought I knew what wind was then I moved here. Today, average at 20MPH with continious gust up to 50. I could handle it with a full scale but my 40s-60s stay in the hanger. I lost my Super Sporter in a 40MPH cross wind landing.

Trisquire, I've reused them, too. I think matadco might be talking about an additional layer of safety by using new rubber bands during a day's use with say a .40+ sized plane or competition plane. With those, there is a sufficient investment of both money and time that buying a new box every once and a while justifies the cost.
There's nothing more disconcerting than to watch your pride and joy become a lawn dart during a hard maneuver. [X(]

Norvel/NV .074 would be awesome.

I built the Ziroli/MAN Sukhoi when it was first published, originally built it for the TeeDee .09.
Ended up flying it electric and it is a really great plane, one of my faves to fly.
Never did fly with it with the Cox 09. Covering is spray painted 1.5mil Doculam.

Post #5 is a picture of the Gnat I built, also from MAN full size pull-out plans!
