Hi, not sure if this is the right forum, but our flying club is planning an R/C flight from Trinidad to Tobago sometime this year.....total distance would be about 40 miles. We would need about 45 minutes of flight time, and we'd be following it in a cessna....min. flying speed would be about 55 mph or so. 22 miles would be over water. We were thinking of using a model around a Y.S.120 4 stroke 'cause we have the engine already. We figure we'd need at least 120 ounces of fuel...and are thinking of using a modified arf....question is, which one? We were thinking of a cub at first, but realized it'd be too slow for the cessna. need something that would cruise at least 60 mph, have enough space for the 120-150 ounces of fuel, and would get off the ground with the fuel load. Another plane we were considering is one of the ugly stick types...any ideas???and if this is the wrong forum, could someone please suggest one?
Thanks,
Lee.
