Default RE: Register here for a Rudder Only model cookup

Um, I wish I could say sign me up but I want throttle control also. I know, I know... this would not be Rudder only but I just feel I need that little "extra" bit of control. Call me chicken if ya want, I can take it. I still want to try...

I have been looking for designs I think would do well. I rteally like the Top Dawg and Roarin' 20 or the Miss World's Fair by Howard McEntee.

There is one more. It is an original design that was inspired by the Whiz Kid and Whizzard models. Instead of the sort of bulky fuses like so many R/O designs, these are sleek in comparison. That will be what sets this model apart from most, besides the inspirations for it. I have no name picked out but it is close to being ready for building. intended for 3 channels it could easily be for less. like R/T or R/E so there is no reason that it would not work well as R/O. It has just a little positive incedence for the wing, about 3 degrees. It sports a pretty cool cabin and has a fairly nose and tail moments...

Just a thought, actually a question, would anyone couple the elevator with the rudder? I am sure many of you know about this treatment although it was not really the "norm"
I always thought this was a great idea for lazy flying but it might actually hinder aerobatics. Am I right about this?
