Default RE: WHat 1/2A Aerobatic plane?

I got hung up on the Mini Super Sportster. Thin semi symetrical wing, with a decent amount of wing area, (about 275sq in) & lite weight (my Enya .09-IV powered version weighs 19+ OZs, without landing gear) make this a great all-around sport flyer. Great "floater", stunter, & (if your .09 can turn a MAS 7x4 in the mid/hi 15k range, or a 7x5 in the lo 15k range,) a neat little hot rod. I've "gone through" (nice way of saying "DESTROYED") a couple of these, & presently have 3 of them. The .09 Enya powered unit, another one powered by an El Cheapo 2409-12 outrunner, & a 3rd unit modified into a profile with a .074 norvel. Just learned how to get the Norvel into it's h.p. range pulling a 6x4 prop, & this thing howls! The next one will probably have a .11 cx for power, but I'm sure that the wing will have to be strengthened for the expected additional forces. .... OK, I'll pull myself away from the MSS sales talk, & admit that I'm really tempted by several of the ULTRAFLY planes, lite weight, & lotsa wing! Gonna have to wait till next summer though. In the middle of a move, & no new home picked out yet. .................... George K.
