Howdy Gang...got a bug up my tailpipe last night to build a Mike Pratt designed FORCE... but for Norvel .074 power instead of a .40.

I framed the wing..33 inch span x 6 inch chord x 1 1/8 inch thick...measurements don't include flaps yet.

Should I bother with flaps...? I'm leaning towards elevator only.

The Norvel turns a 7x3 prop about 17,000 rpm.
What would be a good line length or lap time to shoot for...?

This plane should turn out pretty light [relative term I know]..but it won't have any landing gear. If I end up loving this version, LG could always be added someday.

I have made provisions for adjustable leadouts, so is engine offset and right rudder needed in 2011-2012...or can a model like this be taught to keep the lines tight with leadout rake and wingtip weight only...?
