RE: WW-1 combat?
Well,
The scout was flown this past weekend, and its flys ok. It needs some rudder mixing with the ailerons, but other than that has no nasty habits.
The .25FP turning an APC 10x3 is juat enough power. No real power to spare.
I wont be building another one, and will eventually probably get rid of this one, since after Bloody April, we decided to set bigger minimum wingspans for WW1 birds so we can allow .25FX engines, and at 1/8 scale, this scout is tiny at 37" ws.
The next one I build will be closer to 1/7 or 44" ws as the rules will now dictate. I'm sure it will be a better flyer
