Default RE: Frenzy!!. . .New Design pushing the limits

Note in the pictures that I've added some lower-fuselage "skirts" to give it more side area. The plane easily does a KE loop now, and KE flight is at about 15-20 degrees max angle of attack. The rudder is VERY powerful, and you can do end-over-end KE reversals just by kicking the tail over the fuselage and reversing direction. I have not tried any rudder flips (pinwheels) yet, but I'm sure that once the engine gets broken in a bit, and the weight gets shifted back a little more that the plane will do them from a hover. These pictures show the amount of control throw possible, and it's been turned down a bit. Another 10-15 degrees of throw in each directionis possible by adjusting the control horns.
