Default RE: Which plane would an instructor fear the most?

That transmitter had v-tail mixing but no dual rates.

The plane was set up mechanically for low rates.


we had a fun fly and cook out at the field and one of the contest events was to fly as high as you could for 10 sec and cut the engine. The plane that stayed up the longest was a Viper with a K&B40 rear venturi engine. That thing just glided forever, There was no other plane close to it. That K&B wouldn't throttle, it was wide open or quit
