Default RE: New SPAD Combat Class


ORIGINAL: combatpigg

I'm looking for a ''class'' where the wing loading is light enough so that when planes go down into a field of chest high alfalfa, the planes never reach the ground and the engines keep running.
A class where the action looks more like dog fighting and less like high speed jousting.
Where you can fly all day [120 combat minutes] with no fatal mid airs..and if you do, the planes can be repaired right there on the spot with CA glue and clear packing tape.
A class where there isn't enough kinetic energy to routinely strip out servos or do serious engine damage.

Maybe this???? http://combat.eavesonline.com/ 150 watts per pound so like a 3D plane for performance. It is electric though so may not appeal to all. The motor specified is becoming hard to find. There are motors that will substitute though.
