There is plenty of room to fit tuned pipes in that plane.

I have looked at the 35% Dalton and i prefer to go with Carden even it's not scale. The Carden plane looks like a big pattern plane with its strechy tail moment.. It might explains why they fly so good?

Status: offline 		I took Dad's 35% 260 through the Unlimited Sequence again this weekend, and then played some 3D with it. If I had to go back to a 35% due to cost / transportation I would order one of these in a second and not look back. It would be competitive in any class no questions asked. It goes though a sequence faster than a 40%, however it does it as smooth and easy. Rollers seem easier with this than with my 40% 300 . . . Is that setup ? ? If so where??

Status: offline 		Hello robt
Thanks for the IMAC flight review. Can you do the unlimited sequence under 50% throttle with the DA-100 on canisters or you need to play in 75%-100% throttle for specific figures like vertical snaps for those windy days?

Status: offline 		Dan,

The real question will be how much throttle will be needed on a hot summer day! But as of now at sea level on a 70 degree day I think I could go through unlimited with a 70% restriction on throttle.

Status: offline 		latest update, somewhere between 40-50 flights. still pulls to the canopy on long uplines so i,m going to increase to downthrust even more and i,m going to try moving the cg back a little so i need less down when inverted. still very pleased with the plane. they say it takes 100 flight to really trim it just right.i,m starting to believe it!

Status: offline 		I know what mean. Most of pilots do not take the time to trim their planes and fights againts it to fly straight. Only IMAC fliers understand how it's important to get a trimmed plane to fly good sequences.

Status: offline 		Hi guys
I am building mine and the recommended ailerons dimensions are HUGE with 5'' 3/4'' at the root and 4''1/2 at the tips. Are they overkill or may i reduce it to 5'' a the root and 4'' at the tip?? I'll fly mostly IMAC.

Daniel

Status: offline 		Hello
I decided to go with taper ailerons 5 3/4 at the root and 4'' at the tip.

One 3/8'' balsa sheet do not allow more than 40 degres throw on the ailerons. Did you use 2 sheets to get more throw or is 40 degres enough for IMAC and 3D?
