Default RE: A question about wing area for SSC

Thanks for the info, Montie and Lou-

Lou-

Our SSC is doing well. SSC and Tattoo's Gnat was the ticket to get more guys interested in combat. About four years ago, I brought out the first Spad(and man did I get grief over that plastic plane!) and combat plane(a Derelict with a Norvel Big Mig) to our field. Two years later, there was only me and one other guy combating. No one was interested-planes too fast!

Then Tattoo's Gnat and SSC were introduced,and that interested alot of others members. Slow enough to handle, easy to build(all the directions on one page). Now there's about 10 of us actively flying SSC and Open B at our club. It funny, but once the guys got a taste of SSC, they wanted to move up to Open B! The Gnats have all been abandon for other designs.

We don't keep score or track of kills and cuts-we're just out to have fun. We fly combat year around here in central Iowa. Our heated clubhouse allows us to do that. We're having a ball!!

Thanks again.
