Ripmax Alienator question
I'm not sure the Alienator qualifies as a kit, but I digress...I'm getting close to finishing my IC version, and I'll be using an AP .15 in it. I really don't care to belly land it, and want to put an aluminum gear with pants on it (taildragger rigged), and wondered how I can expect it to fly. I'm sure someone has flown one with the AP. How'd it do? Think it's got enough left to lift the gear?
Thanks,
Doug

RE: Ripmax Alienator question
OK, here's the finished product...The AP .15 is, for the time being, swinging a Cox gray 8X4. I haven't tached it yet. Soooooo, what do you think? I added the gear, because the plane's made to use an MDS .18, and the AP is way lighter. Finish is .7 oz. glass & polyU on the wings and lower fuse, and polyU overall. PU glue & toothpics instead of epoxy. Overall, it doesen't seem to be overweight, but I have no way to measure it.
