Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

googledperson,

The Alleycat is a great plane to make at 10" I've built 3. The latest one was 8". Wingloading goes high below that.
Its fast, and can turn in abt a 15-20' radius. If you get it up abt 50', turn sharp. Power back right then and let it angle down then giver full throttle!
If the CG is right ( AoA is set for just nose up at 1/2 throttle) it'll come ripping across the field at full throttle starting a really nice power climb almost vertical till you let off and you are right back up to a nice flying altitude. Very well mannered plane. I love it. I built mine from RacerX208's plans at the Toolbox. It flies alot like my 10" Sea Vixen. I have a vid posted of it at RCG and Racer has the AlleyCat vid posted too.(pretty sure)

In the AA world, so far, the Bobcat and AlleyCat are strikingly similar looking.
