An update for those of you looking for a warbird combat class that is a little slower and more survivable... um, SSC, yeah!

Micster and I are working on an SSC wardbird design that will be stand-way-off scale, yet still be recognizable when in the air. We will campaign them in the regular SSC class against open-SSC planes and see what people think. If nothing else they will be a real hoot to fly and see.

As for the original post, with .15's and 500 sq/in of wing area energy management will be one of the keys to being successful with these birds, or ANY SSC design.

We are hoping that people thinking about flying SSC will pursue warbird style aircraft as their SSC birds.

Will post an update later, after we fly one and see how it performs.
