Default RE: Sensation 1400 Pattern Plane

I had three of these things. Nice airplanes. I handed mine to a world's competitor to see what a professional could do...wow...really a straight shooting airplane. It likes to fly a bit faster than others in the same class. Mine were unlimited with .46FX (just), .50SX (pretty good, more is not needed), and YS63 (not needed but makes it easier). Only changes I made were using good linkages, pull-pull for rudder, and installing an MK bearing for elevator control.

The Sensation 1400 (and similar designs too) makes a wonderful inclimate weather training platform when the big ships are better left inside. Basically, that means my fingers don't freeze in the 15 seconds it takes to assemble it at the field during the winter freeze.
