Status: offline 		I should be able to make that work. I'll see if I can get it some video up wtih my own camera. Mine does seem to float down a little slower than yours does. But that doesn't surprise me, I think you said yours was 6/8? I got mine to 6/5 and while that doesn't seem like much, the cubic wing difference there is 9.62:9.91. I would love to get mine to 6/2 (9.34). but I have a 50cc that I just picked up, so my efforts on this one may cease for now.

I've found planes around 9:1-9:3 really float nice (regardless of size). Not that I have that much experience with many planes but I've found the Cubic Wing Loading formula to be WAY more useful.

If this plane weighed 6/2, do you think the 82 would pull it well enough???

Status: offline 		Doesn't surprise me either. Things had been done to stop it from "floating" in that vid as it would have been harder to land as there is a short amount of area available for approach where we were flying that day. There are cyclone fences all around and a bunch of tall trees on 2 sides and a power plant on the third. In the end of the vid when the landing occured it was done from a Harrier to shorten it way up.

I firmly believe in keeping my planes as light as is reasonably possible but I don't want them easy to break either. This plane has a 12 oz tank in it sitting up against the wing tube and from full to empty I really don't notice any difference in the flying characteristics of the plane. That's just shy of 3/4 of a lb of fuel from full to empty. About the only difference I notice is that it pulls out of a hover quicker when near empty. I could take the wheel pants off and remove the pump from the Saito to lighten it some more but then it wouldn't perform nor look as good so I just fly itthe way it is. It's a blast. The only plane I like more is the one in my avatar which is my Aeroworks Extra 260 50cc.

At 6.2 lbs the 82 would pull it but I don't think it would be much fun to hover since pull out would be weak at best. Most other manuevers would be alright. If I had the spare cash I think I would spring for the 115 to put on mine. It weighs close to the 91 (only 1 oz diff) but makes a lot more power. Have mucho fun which ever way you decide to go.

Status: offline 		Tim, I'm glad to hear you got your 50cc plane. I guess it's the one you were unsure if you were going to get or not. Regardless, that's a good move. Lemme know how well it flies and which airframes you got.
