Default RE: New Pacific Aeromodel Clip Wing Monocoupe

Here we go again!

I'd suggest you check this thread http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5002875/tm.htm on the Top Flight Cessna 310, which has the same wing area as the Clip Wing, weighs 20# plus, and has a wing loading of 50. That's too high for me, but there seems to be no problem with the way it flies.

I don't imagine that the Clip Wing will 3D like your Extra, nor will it float around like the Kange. On the other hand, 32 oz is a pretty good figure for a quarter scale airplane. There are plenty of ~1000 sq. in. aerobats out there with 30-35 ounce wing loadings and they fly fine. The Pacific Clip Wing is a lot bigger than the short wingspan might lead you to believe.
