RE: Hydro-Foam by Michael Connally

You are 100 % correct about mtr. position on a hydro. I built a fan fold faam mho while waiting for my real mho to arrive from Red. I built it 15% longer and 20% wider than the specs I got from these post. It weight was 20 oz. and had a hymax 2812-1080 for power. It was mounted 1 1/2 in. above the water line and flew like a clark Y inverted trainer. After reading some post, I think think by C/L, I lower the mtr. to 1/2 above the water line .nd as close as possible to the cg without making it tail heavy. It now weighs 18 oz. and flys like a GP stick,and hovers and does harriers easier tha a 3d foamy. I wish Michael Connelly would design a mho that would take a 91 F S . Hey AFPLIZ , That would be a good project for you. I would be your first customer.

You made a very good point about beginners buying "junk" being discourage, and leaving the hobby.
Thank God for RCU.
