Default RE: Reverse Thrust Query

I became interested in this design while perusing Model Airplane News', on-line plan, Double-Trouble. I wasn't immediately taken with the idea but by-chance got reading up on a full scale German WWII fighter designated the Dornier 335...........the Model Airplane News plans by Tony Newsom immediately germinated. A query to RC UNIVERSE resulted in several members replying that they had hacked kits or scratch built sport planes with spectacular results. Hmmm.....maybe something interesting here, eh? The advantages are in-your-face, ie, clean wing, low drag, little torque, etc, etc................and of course out-of-the-ordinary at the field (hee hee). Al Masters has an interesting web cite for those folks interested in how he constructed a scale, Do 335 model

My ambitions are far more mundane than Al's ship (GREAT web page Al). Anyway, as always RC Universe has provided a wealth of common sense, suggestions and fellowship...........what a great tool for the enthusiast.
