1/4 scale SE5a Wing Loading
Hi there;
I am just finishing up a 1/4 scale SE5a built from Dennis bryant plans. I am a little concerned about the weight as all set to go it is 21 lbs 4 oz. (this gives a wing loading of 22 oz./sq.ft). The engine is the Moki 50cc 4-stroke gas engine (once distributed by RC showcase). It's power is of the order of a g-38 or a 1.80 4-stroke. Does anyone have an opinion as to how this palne will fly. I would certainly welcome any experiences or input. My guess is the power and weight are ok for scale flight and prototypical aerobatics, but that this plane will not be a true floater as my lighter sopwith pup.
Thanks
