RE: .15 size combat pic
I like slow combat, too. The slowest I've flown is with .15 diesels towing around 48" foam flying wings and also with .049-.061 powered planes that rarely ever reach the dirt [through the tall grass] if knocked out of the sky. Midairs are fairly rare and most planes need to be retired after a couple of years due to being too fuel soaked than due to battle damage. A lot of midairs between slow flying and lightly built planes don't amount to anything. The quality of the dog fighting is better and the pilots have more time to avoid midairs.
