Hi Guys,

It is getting interesting here, let me trow some "Fuel on the Fire". I will post one of my oldest planes.
Below I attached a photo of an Very Old and Very Crapy Seagull Boomerang, after hundreds of crashes,
which rolls about 5-6 times per second, no kidding. The parameters are 4.5kg weight dry, engine OS.91FX,
propeller 13x7, fuel 25% castor 75% metanol and 6V battery chain as I described above.
For sure it is an ugly plane and that is why maybe it does not obey all the nice theories much...
in fact it is a "horror-movie" for the shop-keepers - it does many things which the expensive ones don't.
Maybe important think to mention is the speed, it is about 150 km/h, that has of course main effect. Surely
that crap is not for IMAC, neither for 3D, it is just for fast stunt drive and does the ROLLING FAST and in
the wings are just Futaba 3004... Surely there are many nice ideas posted above, but still I believe also
what I see when I turn the sticks ... and on top of every thing it is Upper-Wing plane ...
Cheers,
Nick
