Nice work . . looks real good.

. . and I kinda agree with with Mike . . something around 67" span is a good size. My (controversial) opinion is that the Pattern formula should be for this size plane . . would keep the cost down, and open up a few extra designs and manufacturing oportunity. Maybe not present as well in the air, but it would be the same for everyone. A comment has been that they are not as easy to judge . . perhaps open up the angle on the 'box' slightly so they can be flown closer ?? . . [sm=72_72.gif] . . dunno.

Yes, Jeff!
I think we ought to shrink the Pattern formula down to 1.65 or 1.7 meter length and width.
There is no need to change the box, just fly at a real 150 M.
