Default Have You Built This Power Supply ?

Jaymom

NO no no ! You are not upsetting me . I just wanted to point out that we can all get carried away in the wrong direction if we don't think it through.

I know I did in the past, and on foam, when Ed Izzo (now dead) introduced the foam concept to the modeling world at the Toledo Show many years ago--- I'm going to guess it was about mid sixties.

I've flown pattern designs in the Built-up, Balsa fuse-foam wing and Fiberglass-foam versions and that is why I said what I did about built-up planes.

I find it so objectionable that I now use it only in the stab area, and I'm not real sold on it there. First I go with it then without and right now I'm building without.

For my liking, I'll go with a higher drag airfoil to get that light feel in the pattern. As I said earlier, I find it true even in the 100" plus category flying an Extra with a 120 cc twin . Night and day difference .
