I found a nice picture of an older design....now both sides of the equation have been balanced
Can we get back on subject and ignore posts that have no basis on the subject at hand?
Gents,
I was triggered by the statement because when you need power for the down lines you really have a (development) problem in bumpy turbulent wind and that was the first input to feed my imagination.
I did look for the VF3, on internet, I did not know that plane and find this text:
With the VF3, this same advantage has been created with the use of glow engines. Speed control is phenomenal, snaps are effortless and remove all doubt with little to no line displacement at all. Very slow rolls and knife edge flight at very low flight speeds require very little rudder to maintain level flight. The tail shows very little "digging". Up and down line snaps and rolls are very axial with no wobbling.
I show you the pitot tube I use on my Top Flite Taurus. This is needed for real (air)speed control and data logging.
Reason of this post is, to show you I am not trolling and maybe on one moment you will think about me when somebody beats you in bumpy turbulent wind conditions.
Do not worry for that in the near future, I think I am the only one who uses this
If you want a short description (without the details) let me know and I will tell you.
Nice plane VF3, not exactly my style, I prefer my Taurus
