I consider the subject closed....
Wait! What happened to the lightened 55? If you had a pattern plane optimized for the 33 and one optimized for the 55 which do you think would have the advantage? Could the 55 make weight? Have you decided that the 55 is not worth pursuing now that you have the 33 working well? Thanks.
Still in the works....Not only worth pursuing, it will be an absolute electric killer. At the risk for jiving up hype, that set-up is the most impressive thing I've come up with yet, much more so than the OS33GT. Will it make weight? It will be very close. The plane is very large for a pattern plane....1180 square inches of wing area, 265 square inches of stab. It has all the advantage. I do not subscribe to the tinsey winsey wings many are doing in pattern nowawdays.....A pattern plane needs to fly on its wing as much as on its thrust
