Hi all
I got a falcon 25 and am going to try os 32 with no landing gear ,no rudder servos.Intend to bugee launch and belly land
(SCARY!!) Total weight 3 lb 2 oz. wing loading only 18 0z/sq ft Might be a good way to wreck a plane though!!!
Why remove the landing gear?

Remember everything will be in the prop pitch... especially with that engine.

Give it a high enough pitch and the plane will scream... the problem is that the best I've found is a 9x7 3 blade MA prop...

I've flown my .25 at 3lbs 7oz w/o problems, especially once I got the spoileron's dialed in.

I'm considering raising this to raising this to 4lbs 1oz so I can put a second large battery pack in, that would permit me to double the voltage.
My electronics can handle 22v, and I hope to turn the .25 into a missle.
