Long wings catch streamer more easily. The power is a class thing, .051 for 1/2A, 15 size for A class, 30 limit for B, 46 for C.
Thanks, because tower sells a p51 and a 109 recomended for 15 motors and yet have a looooong 60 inch wing ,another question do the wing leading edges cut the streamers, I thought a prop would cut them better?
Every surface of the airframe can cut a streamer, not just the prop. In r/c combat, you will get many, many more streamer cuts with parts of the airframe than with the prop. The P-51 and ME-109 you speak of are from Lanier. These two kits are designed for SSC, "Slow, Surviveable Combat", and have the long wings not only to catch more streames but to fly better on little .15's.
THANKS glowplugboy I noticed in the electric club near me, they use ordinary vcr tape for a streamer. isnt that to strong to be useing for a streamer ,I cant see a [:-]wing edge cutting through vcr tape,what do you think.
