Doug you hit the nail on the head. I will be flying a gas powered pattern plane shortly. Yes it is over 11lbs. but only about 1lb. (Flying vs. Flying weight) more then most pattern planes that are not high tech. Larger wing chord about the same wing loading fueled and flying.
Did you get to fly Dicks petrol plane. What was your opinion of it.
I saw it fly.. didn't get to fly it myself. It looked very light with HUGE power available with instant throttle response. Very impressive.
I'm working on my own design currently and trying to get the weight down low enough to use the ZDZ-40.
