Arch, my coment was more in reference your comment about wide body fuses. The mid rex is deeeeeep, make no mistake, but I fail to see how the width of the fuselage makes more or less difference on rolling maneuvres. Perhaps one of the pattern eggheads can fill me in here.

That said, understand the reasoning for wide bodies to create a bigger frontal area, and hence a more draggy aircraft.


Acutally, someone the change from 2 to 4 stroke, everyone points the finger at the torque. So is it fair to assume that it's the PROP that's able to be driven that's making the difference? Or the way the prop is driven. I'm just trying to get my head around it. With my 140 in a vertical snap there's no change in rpm, so I assume the struggle is because I now have excessive prop slip and am unable to increase my vertical (forward) speed effectively to get back up a speed where the prop becomes efficient? Conversely there is less prop slip or perhaps more disc area to get me back up to speed with a 4 cycle prop?

Just sounding it out guys.
