Default RE: Need a good combat plane plan...

Have you been to the RCCA web site? At one time, they might have had some links posted for plans.

You might have to buy a Battle Axe to get a quick education from. I'll bet you find that the plane you scratch built wasn't too far off. The SSC minimum weight of 40 ozs makes designing a good performing plane a matter of working in enough wing area.

My idea of the ideal SSC plane would therefore be just a flying wing with lots of span for scoring crepe paper. It would also be interesting to try a pusher.....I can't remember if AMA rules allows pushers or not. Even if they did, there aren't any 8x3 pusher props.....[:@]
