Whatever happened to pushers?
Seriously, nitro-powered pusher-prop planes have completely disappeared from my local field and from the general marketplace. I can't figure it out. I have had a few and they flew fast like turbine-powered jets but cheap to build and run. I would like to fly a couple more but none are available. What am I missing?

My Feedback: (-1)
If you mean pusher ARFs there are tons of foam flying wing types of planes on the market. If you mean stick built, Scale gave you a ton of plans to build from. I have seen plans in MAN with planes from WWI to the Star Wars X wing. Lots of pushers if you just look.

Nitro planes BobCat 60 was my first pusher. problems with prop clearance, hardware was replaced. Then it was a problem with AOA on takeoff... Once that was done it flew good
