-pkh-, what is the SPAD with the yellow wing and red stripes? And what engine do you have on it. That looks cool, and that's coming from a 56 y/o geezer.
Oh I see now. It's a Derelict with a modified wing and tail with a OS 32SX. Yeah, that should haul *****. I like it. Does it have Rudder Servo? Or is it just Ail, Elevator, throttle?
No rudder, just aileron/elevator/throttle control. It really hauled with the 32SX. I crashed it and was too lazy to clean the mud out of the 32SX right away, so i just bolted on a 40 LA that I had lying around. It wasn't quite as fast with the 40LA, but still flew well and hauled *****. After crashing and re-gluing the wing several times, I ended up with a slightly warped wing the last time I re-glued it, so I just trimmed it out with aileron trim! Had some interesting throttle to roll coupling after that, but was still fun to fly. Very easy to hand launch, just toss it 30-45 degrees up at full throttle and it will climb right out of there.
