Default RE: all balsa TRIBUTE

George I know this fellow [8D], he build some seriously inticate models to say the least..Nice looking one but time consuming from what I hear LoL..Be sharp when its completed..

I was thinking of building a built up foam wing and profile fuselage similar for fun only..Tribute is a great flying plane, it reminds me of a lighter version of the Fazer (flies similar not design) which has been one of my all time favorite 3D planes..
Question George, that's some of the best foam I've seen is it possible to buy this to build a few different home brewed planes? (PM if possible-)
And the Tribute does not seem to stall at all..If its the thrust or push of the motors generating air movement that keeps the plane going over the surfaces to create lift, when by theory it should not[X(]..Great plane I'm very impressed to say the least!
thnx.


Also is there a different gearing for BL-prop combo you could reccomend for a BL set-up..And also for a Brushed set-up..seems a lot of prop for a brushed motor possibly..thinking of going with a lesser prop than 12.6..Many are buying these at our field..and throughly enjoying the experience..

Thinking of trying APC 11x4.7 (brushed) SFP for Tribute brushed..advantages-disadvantages here..? BL soon[8D]
Added Pitch will increase forward speed-low pitch slower but too low of pitch, - lower power/thrust
