I am tired to hear that to be competitive, you must have the best flying airplane. Are we talking about basic here?

If it is basic we are talking about, it should be an entry class and we start to see 40% airplanes in basic. I can't imagine how bad I would feel flying a 40% and having "only" placed in second position behind the "TINY POOR FLYING" Goldberg Sukhoi. It is a shame to tell everybody they must have the best equipement.

Sooooo, assuming the Sukoi will fly better than the smaller Yak, you could then consider going straight to gas with a Patty or others mentioned in 50cc class. I would take extra care choosing servos, as a 50cc plane requires better servos than 140 glow IMO. We are back to higher prices then.

A good 140 size plane can fly very well. I have seen a 25% Cap 232 win advanced IMAC in some competitions.

Did I stir the pot enough ??
