Default RE: talon good spad?

Gregziemba,

I have a Talon and love it. I'm changing to a bigger engine and thinking about putting landing gear on it.

One of the neat design features of the forward swept wing is that the root stalls first, as usual, but the tips are still in clean air and flying just fine. It basically won't do a nasty stall, just mush when you get below stall speed, and you'll still have aileron control. With a Magnum XL 40, Tower muffler, and a 6v rx battery, it would do about 3 rolls per second if not faster, all axial and clean. [8D]

Put a 40 sized engine on the nose, balance it correctly, and bring a clean pair of shorts with you for the maiden!

If you don't like it, THEN send it to FantzyPantz!

Blue skies,

DL
