Great input Chad and Greg. It's very interesting to hear how a worlds competitor can pick apart even the best airframe hehe.


Ryan,

Dean hasnt flown any of his pattern stuff at CLRC, but he did have one of his new smardgz fuses in his truck one morning. It was definately a thing of beauty. I dont think our field is set up well at all for pattern, given the road/power line at the east end, and the house on the west end of the runway approach. We are really having to watch ourselves on overflying the road and the far treeline to keep some new neighbors pacified. I think the curving hump of our runway also keeps Dean's pattern hardware away from our field.

As for the wings on my plane, I was told that they were prototypes for the Phenom, by the builder of the Phenom. I cannot verify if they are the "production" version. Who knows, maybe I got the wings that fly as good as paperclips LOLOL.

I still havent figured out an engine choice yet. I've been traveling for work, and have had a massive project load, so I havent been able to play with the planes much.

Ill keep you posted.

Steve
