RE: What design elements for a good 3D profile?
How Cool Chris,
Just checked out your talon. That is a slick looking plane. Much bigger than I have been flying. The biggest I have had the guts to fly is my BalsaNova 1.20 which in my opinion is almost a profile. I bashed the rudder and elevator by adding 2 1/2 inches behind the hinge line. That really woke that plane up. I fly it with a 1.50 saito. Only had 4 flights on it so far and am not comfortable with it yet. I did the decathlon just because several people at our field were saying that a high wing will not 3D and barely will fly aerobatic moves. When they watch me drag the tail with 2 feet of air under my main gear, they sorta get real quiet. Then when they see that great BIG gentle landing plane hover and flat spin, the get out the ketchup and mustard to eat their words.
I will try to borrow a digital so I can post a pic or two for you guys.
Chris Keep up the good work, If you had a 60 size Talon, I might be convinced to try it, so keep me in mind
Thanks again
