The research I have done suggests that the plane can fly on an 061 and will weigh 19 oz or so. It does have a small wing though 190 sqs or so with a wingspan of 36 inches. I usually like a little extra power if i am going to have high wing loading, and so I am considering the 074. Folks who have electrified it seem to have trouble getting it to fly well even at an all up weight of 17 oz. ( I have to wonder if this represents poor building/flying experience as I figure lighter flies better)
Has anyone built or flown this plane or any other plane of this size/weight. I have built and flown several 1/2As in my time, but it has been several years. The last one was a sure shark with a norvel 049 that have very lite wing loading, and flew great. It is really the wing loading of 14.4 oz per square foot that has me worried. Thanks y'all. Any input you might have would be greatly appreciated.
