Default RE: .15 size combat pic


Yes we do have mid airs but what we found that by increasing the distance between the streamer and the plane to 30 feet, the number of mid airs dropped dramatically. We also discovered that by flying balsa and foam wing slow comba planes, people really tried to avoid midairs. Do we still have them....sure....but really reduced. Most people here really didn't like flying coroplast planes and prefered balsa and foam....go figure eh?

Also the design of the slow combat planes that we use....specifically CAUTION and ENIGMA are very robust and and extremely easy to fix. Build time is a few days including covering which most people cover with tape.

The interest has been so great that I am now putting together short kits which include ALL the balsa and plywood pieces which are all laser cut and the foam wing which is cnc cut as well. PM me directly for prices if you're interested. There are also more designs in the works such as VIPER, NEMISIS and TALON.

Richard
