gmeyers ;
Engine on the nose, standard type of aircraft model, .049 Medallion powered, 42" wingspan, 2 channel Rudder / Elevator controls.
I think ailerons would work better for Videos, but went with a older model I had here, to test it all.
I have to watch the trees with the .049, what I have here would never work with a .010. Even the cameras would need to be smaller, I would think.
Yes, changing the pitch/diameter of the prop helps quite a bit, it still can't beat the free glide videos, after the engine runs dry. But, playing with the prop size and pitch can minimize the distortion, caused from the engine vibration .
The model I am using is pictured in the gallery , It's the Red and Tan model.
Hope you give it a shot, its all very cool.!!
