Default RE: small field plane

That's true, I'm sure he's not a beginner. However, it does show how small an area the WD can fly in.

I used the electronics from my AA Bipe to make a powered glider. Used meat trays for the wings and fuselage, a balsa stick for the boom, and a Styrofoam plate for the tail feathers. It has a 20" wing span and is about 15" long with a "T" tail. Cruses along just fine at minimum throttle and climbs pretty good at half throttle.

Finally got tired of it and bought a 3 channel Firebird Phantom, which really isn't much bigger but flies much faster. I've been flying it for the last few months.

I just received today my Wing Dragon 4. Now I have to learn to fly with ailerons...
