RE: Norvel .15
CP,
Had to look that up. SSC, Slow, Survivable Combat.
" In a nutshell - the SSC birds have huge wing area (minimum 400 inches), minimum weight at 2.5 lbs, and maximum motor size at a stock .15 that can be purchased for $60 or less. The prop is standardized with a Master Airscrew 8x3 and is limited to 17,000 RPM. One Caveat to the whole thing is that, in sanctioned events, any combatant that wishes to do so can purchase the days winner's engine for $100 and the poor sap has to sell it to him. That effectively keeps every one honest about engine mods and keeps the speed to around 50 mph max. "
Sounds like fun, even just to buzz around. Now if I can convince a couple of local guys to join in,,,,,
