I'd like to see you design a 3D plane specifically for those of us who fly at high altitudes. Taking density altitude into consideration during the summer, I'm at 7000 feet. I know there will have to be a compromise with weight (heavier aircraft) because of the size of the engine will require a more robust platform, but I'd buy one in an instant if the aircraft is properly designed.

Seemingly, I always have to put a larger engine on the aircraft because during the summer I have a density altitude of 7000. I don't try to overpower the plane, I only install the engine that will work effectively at my altitude. The planes don't fly do vertical flight like rocket; however, they do pull with some authority. A good balance is hard to achieve unless the manufacture designs a product what will work well at high density alititude.

I've flown the 100X and F90 and each require a just a little bit more HP to make them happy at altitidue.



Thanks

Chuck

I have about a dozen planes in the hanger that are all variations of aerobatic planes. It would be great for a very different plane in the hanger, how about a 1/3 scale DH82A Tiger Moth? Something engineered with easy field attachment wings and wires. Swing a 32 inch prop on a gearbox for scale performance (and unlimited vertical if you use all the left stick in mode 2). You could offer a civilian and a WWII scheme for variety.

Status: offline 		I think the Raven is a great idea. my dad had one of the old global raven 60 sized kits. He made countless mods to fix it, but it ended in the ground after a nylon wing bolt stripped and left the wing seperate from the plane. A 30%-35%er would be a dream, and no one else is offering that, I can promise. I have looked. Especially with hangar-9's amazingly cheap pricing for such a high quality airplane. Also, maybe some consideration for a 30%-35%er Laser 200? It seems that that plane is no longer existant in an arf, except for kangke. But their convering scheme is UGLY, plus it isnt hangar-9. I am really looking for a good 100cc or 85cc plane to add to my hangar. Im gettin tired of my 50cc

I would love that plane.

Status: offline 		Mike, Our club is located in the sacramento area, Sacramento Area Modelers. We hold 4 events a year focused on mini reno style pylon racing. WWII aircraft that shot bullets and any scale outline that raced at reno or mohavie qualifies for the event. We have a criteria for sq in to engine displacement and rules you can download from the SAM website. We have three classes bronze, silver, and gold. Most gold planes are scratch built or highly modified world models .46 mustangs. The engines of choice are ys four strokes .110-.120-.140 ect. Other clubs around the united states are catching on to this sport in the hobby. Hanger 9 should consider doing 1 or more rendetions of reno style racers perferably a modified p-51 mustang that is thin and light low drag and would fit the SAM warbird criteria and rules. Our last race in april had over 40 pilots and went all day long. I have heard pylon world in Airizona is big into this sport too. Hanger 9 definitly has the skills to build such a model, look at the sundowner for an example. Please consider this idea. I think hanger 9 would do very well with this idea, this is something that hanger 9 lacks in its inventory. Such a model could start a whole new revolution across the united states and possibly in other countries. If you have any questions please post back as i would be glad to give you more input on this topic.
