Hey Guys,
That looks really bad *****. I love my flip so much I was going to build an 80 inch version with an MDS 2.18 but yours is even better. I put all the numbers in to my Real Flight G2 for 3 planes. The stock, 57 inch an 80 inch and also a 100 inch. I liked the 80 inch a lot. I stuck the numbers on a few different planes and they all fly the same. I chose the Edge 540 just for looks.
If you have plans for this plane, I would love to have a set. I hope you do dump the covering scheme though. I have covered two Flips in a red white and blue art deco/retro style and everyone at our field loves them. The plane underneath looks way better than the covering.
I am building a third Flip right now with a Saito 100. I was wondering if anyone out there has done this. If so, did you center mount the tank and use a pump or keep it in the forward location? How much weight was required to get the C.G. close to the rearward 150 mm? What prop works best with this combo? Did you have any trouble with an inverted engine mounting as far as it running right and starting easily?
Whew, I'm full of questions aren't I.
Keep us posted, your project really is cool. I want one.
