I considered many engines. The RCV is just a little longer, and though the firewall can be positioned where ever you need it, space behind the firewall gets very tight. But you would gain in the available space for a dummy engine. It would be really cool to turn a large prop at a slower RPM, I think it would sound more scale-like. Weight is very much a factor. The Hanriot 's nose is so short that you can just(if you are foolish enough!!) hold the top wing in the center without getting your knuckles trimmed by the prop..The final weight of this model is a little over 17 pounds, but the OS has no trouble pulling it around. The RCV is definitely a possibilty! I personally would go electric if I were ever to build another...

That is what I was thinking.I don't think they had A123's three or so years ago when I was looking, at least I had not heard of them. What stopped me was the need for two sets of flight packs for Scale Master's type competition flying, the charge times were to long for a complete charge between flying rounds for one set....just too expensive at the time.

Let us know what you decide...every time I wipe the glow fuel residue off the model I wish I would have gone with electric...

Another Scalemasters Qualifier and my second First Place Expert trophy.

Gene, the second place winner, flew better than I did but my static score saved the day...just barely.....by 00.08 points!!!

The Championships are only about 7 hours from here, in Wenatchee Washington, and I have every intention of participating!!

One of our ISS club members made the trophies. CNC cut into corian....pretty neat!!

Status: offline 		Hi Randy.
I was interested in build ing the Hanriot for some time now and after watching you fly yours at the 2009 Scale Masters Championships in Wenatchee this past September, I now am purchasing one. I took several pictures of your plane and you can find them on our club web page at http://www.vrcas.org/ look in the gallery. I did talk to you some about the plane but not the build . I found your build and I do believe once I start build ing mine, I will be reading to see how you did things and how you solved problems. I flew the Eindecker that was parked not too far from you.
I just hope that my Hanriot will look half as nice as yours.

Les

I remember you and your Eindecker very well!! Thank you for taking those pictures, they are really neat. I know you will enjoy build ing the GTM kit and the Hanriot is really a nice flying model. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Next year I'm planning the B.C Qualifier at Vernon for sure, and Wenatchee too if the times don't conflict.

Randy
