Default RE: Lengthning Fuselage

Wow, looks like a great plane, Campgems. Good to see that I am not the only one out there with a brain and willing to use it. So many people try to immitate the 3D crowd so that they can't get the point of sport flying.

I took my Ultra Sport out this afternoon and flew it for 30 minutes and it sure is sweet. The three extra inches seems to be a good choice for me it takes off fast and straight even when I lift off quick without much air speed. I was running a 12X8 on the Super Tiger 90 today and it pulled it very well. Not many people I have talked to have experimented with lengthing the plane but if you think about it the pattern planes are long and fly straight and true so why not take advantage of this on a sport plane. I experimented in flight trying knife edge and different tracking position and it seemed real good and stayed pretty much where it is placed. Still am not sure which prop the 90 is going to pull the best with and have several more to try like the 12X10 and 13X8 but I can't complain with the 12X8 or 13X6 so far. I am running slobbering rich but it is still pulling like a champ.
