RE: new design: Strega 45
Richard,
Thank you. I like to do it and explain the building of a fast model. With my first really fast model I have had the problemm that I had used to thin aileron steering rods (2mm) and one was brooken on my Stinger 40 with a Nelson FIRE with a venturi. So I was in big problems. The tank was full, throttle couldn't be stopped and fuel shutt off I did not mount because I did not know how. After some broken nervs I could land the model but I was in another world. There is not much info how to build a really fast model. Important is to glue in a wingspar and make an eggshape glasscloth in the middle of the wing and use strong aileron rods like the sullivan 4-40's. Also important is strong elastic flaps from kevlar or use enough hinges. Some people use 3 hinges on a aileron. Five is stronger and better. A glued in CNC controlhorn is reliable. Not reliable is a plastic controlhorn because it will break.
Best regards,
Look.
