A 40% Carden at 30lbs?
That is very low weight for one of those!
Bigger flies more full scale like of course but not even the full scale guys make em deliberately heavy -
Not everyone wants 40% models and yet they do want to maximize performance of their smaller models.
The way to do that is to really drop the wing loading, yet keep the power way up.
Pure inertia stuff -like the full scale Caps do is hard to replicate -but can be done with models as small as 400 squares.
Done it- but it requires a shorter coupled model.
Most of the little flip flop models use a very thick very low aspect ratio wing-
These types are excellent for hovers - flip very slow speed stuff-but will not dosnaps and stalled maneuvers well.
We have played with the Diablotin models - Excellent stuff -but you can't stall em!
By making a scalelike model - that is - thin wing and no hugely extended tail moment - the entire character changes.
The trick is to again reduce weight as far as possible and keep power up.
My 40cc model is actually easier to fly in accurate Unlimited sequences -than a 40% setup.


Try it.
