RE: Guillow's #303 Piper Super Cub 95 Build
Andrew, yes, you're right -- lots of helpful data on Heads Up RC. But hear me out on the size. I noticed a guy in the reviews of the Micro Brushless got 9,000 rpm on a 7x3.5 and 9300 on a 6x3. That's better than an overpropped Cox 020, which would be fine on an 8 to 10 ounce, 30-35 inch span scale lightplane.
Since the entire radio and power system would be under 3 oz., I don't think less than 10 oz. would be hard to achieve.
With the 24 inch size, it's going to fly fine, but it will not look very scale-like because it will have to go pretty fast. A two oz. freeflight flies scale-like in that size (puts a lot of big RCs to shame). So to get scale-like flight for this kind of plane, I feel I would need to go larger. Unless I'm missing something here--no experience with this stuff yet.
Anyway, maybe I'm way off on this, but you've all provided some really good info.
