The Webra .10 / piped should do well.

Now to find my PP kit. It is buried under other kits that I have collected since the PP was adopted by our family.

Nick, I'll bet you never thought you would have a devout following of your PP design such as this, all that many years ago.

I wanted to have a small, hand launching aerobatic plane and after reading about Peppermitn Pattie, I have decided for this one.
I started with the wing. This is what I have done so far:

Status: offline 		Yep, kits are ready to ship.. I had a very serious family matter and them my wedding in the middle of it all and it did put me behind in getting them out the door. I have contacted all that wanted them and only had one back out of his order.

I will be doing mine as a electric for the SPA trail.

I'm filling the basic versions first out the door, then doing the sheeted versions in the order that the orders arrived, that way I only set up the bagging sytem once.

If your interested contact me direct at scott@rcfoamy.com

Status: offline 		Guys,

If anyone has pictures of the PP and PPII please send them to me at scott@rcfoamy.. I'm getting a collection of them together for the new website.

Also I see there is a intrest in the smaller PP and Nic has given me the rights for producing that one as well (not the 40 size) so In the future I will be making some sort of a kit out of this.. foamy, electric, glow, epp, not sure looking down the road.

just keep that in mind and if you have any ideas let me know..

Thanks,

Status: offline 		I'd love to have a 40 or smaller version of this plane. My space is limited so I have been doing my best to not buy anything over a 40, but this is such a pretty plane.

Status: offline 		Our flying field is not in the best shape, mainly in hot summer when plants around become very hard as they dry. I am concerned about forces on rudder during bad landing. I think that the following change in the shape of the rudder could help pretect the rudder servo from damage.
What do you think?

Status: offline 		I'm sure it would fly fine that way.There may be a little roll coupling on knife edge because of the loss of rudder below the thrust line.

Status: online 		I flew my Peppermint Pattie without landing gear from a grass field for a very long time without incident using the stock rudder configuration. I used Kraft unpinned nylon hinges that were well glued in place. They are really strong hinges and are nearly impossible to rip out. I'm sure that CA hinges would work just as well and be nearly as strong.

How quick is PP on landings?

Status: online 		You have to keep it moving and fly it right down to the ground. But it is an easy habit to acquire and not problematic at all.

Being a small, high performance model, never try to float it in for a landing and you and Pattie will be fine. In other words, forget nose high landings. This is not a Kaos type of model.
