Default New SPAD

Here is my new Carlspad. I wanted to build a sport / pattern type plane. The wing is actually developed from the wing on my Edge 540.

Wing span = 60"
Wing Root = 12"
Wing Tip = 10"
MAC = 11.03
Area = 660 sq. in
Wing Aspect = 5.45
CG = 4.5
Weight 6.25 lbs
Wing Loading = 20 oz/ft
Wing thickness max 2" tapers to 1" at tip
Wing spar one piece popular with 2 degrees of dihederal

Fuse length = 55"
Horizontial stab = 22"
Vertical stab 12 base 7 at tip including rudder

The plane is powered with a .61 ASP
The plane flies very well, it does loops, spins, knife edge, axial rolls
Plane has very mild stall, nose drops slightly, with no wing tip stall
Landing speed can be slow, likes a little power on
I have 50 + flights on this plane with no problems or failures
