I have 2 electric flying wings already, so Stryker doesn't really appeal. I like fiddling with real motors, even if they are finicky, so I am looking for a nitro belly lander. I have lots of motors that are not in service, including an 020, many 049s, couple of 051s, two OS .15s and then the bigger stuff but I want to keep this project small scale, ie .015 or smaller. I also have a 09 TD and a Norvel 061 but those are in use on a 100" vintage glider and a small hi wing Cessna trainer (with wheels) respectively. I do like the Norvel "whine" even if that's a hard motor to finger start. I want something that will land on its belly and not bust props, so maybe some kind of pusher or pod-mounted engine model? All my nitro planes have wheels and that doesn't work too well on a hay field. I was looking at a plan built A-10 that uses twin ducted 049s that may work, especially if I can run them off a common fuel tank.

Anyway, it's a nice day here in Oregon so I am going to give the Devil Plane another whirl with some mods (engine alignment, elevator throw/sensitivity). Maybe I will tame that beast and that then solves the problem. Of course once mastered, boredom creeps in!
