new speed model
I own a lot of aerobatic models and wanted something fast for a change, well heres my attempt.
28" wingspan and a piped OS .45 fsr.
its not finished in this picture, ive got to paint it yet and get the gear installed.
its covered in tissue+dope and the wing is foam veneer.
i am a bit concerned about the torque on launch causing problems and am considering making a take off dolly for it, what do you guys think, it has good wing area.
what sort of prop would be a good place to start with.
if this baby flies i am sure it will really shift.
thanks, dan

add rudder control,
it is a requirement for pylon racers
do not induce P-factor with high angle of attack hand launch
I would launch 5 degress up over level and with 65-75% power.
wonders shrikes and whiplash, i have done ok fine w/o rudder but considering your power to wingspan add miniservo and rudder

Nice plane and design. What's the weight of this model? I wouldn't think you'd need a dolly for a plane this over powered. I think I'd have trouble seeing it with only a 28" WS. Heck the pipe nearly bigger than the plane!
Very Cool!

crazy4flight- this isnt really a pylon racer, jut a bit of fun whih i hope will be fast but if it will help on launch i will consider it.
the fsr is a really good engine and it really screams, very reliable too.
i havent weighed it yet but the only heavy part is the engine, the airframe is very light.
any ideas for props for this model??
i was thinking of starting with a 8x8 apc

Let me know when you test it, i'll bring my cam to video the bits expolding 
Crazy: i'm a bit lost on the rudder idea....
When i built my quickie it wasn't much bigger than this with a MDS 38 and heli pipe, the torque was bad, get John or Barry to throw it and make sure the engine wont sag when thrown that hard, they are the only people that can lauch the plane higher than the stall speed you'll have

RE: new speed model
I've got the props from Eliminator now.
P2, P5, P6 and P9 models..translated..> 7.2x7....7.2x7.4...6.75x7.75....6.75x8
There are 3 sizes that I've never tried on that engine. They'll have to be run individually and whittled down to the point where the engine will run them.
Outside of that, things need to dry up around here...the field is a swampy mess.

RE: new speed model
That whale flew a lot actually. AJ took 2nd with it at a race and it was competitive.
Unfortunately it needed so many mixes to fly right it was hurting in the turns. At the end of the day, it flew as well as anything I have ever built, but needed multiple mixes to take out its bad habits.
