Drexus, Airplanes have wings, six packs have handles. I mearly used the six packas a univerally known standard of volume. Even those who dont' drink have at least seen one. For those who want a larger vesion, remember this: at 1/4 scale this A/P will have a wing span of 98 and 5/8's inches. Thats longer than the bed of a pickup truck. This makes a one piece wing a virtual impossability. That may not be a bad thing from a production standpoint, but it does make engineering it a little harder. I love the big planes, but I find them a little tough to transport without damage. If we lobby real hard we may get Ken to make both sizes. While the Maule is not a 3-D bird it will hover in horizontal flight.
