Building or Modifying a kit to carry the most external weight
I have a contest coming up in October where the objective is to see who can carry the most external weight on their airplane.
The requirements basically are a .46 2 stroke engine, front intake, side exhaust with the factory muffler. Fuel will be supplied by the event (15%).
Airframe requirements are wing span + fuselage length must be not more than 170". If you have multiple wings then they are added together same with multiple fuselages.
My question is, not being an aeronautical egineering type, what would be the best kit, ARF, scratch built plans to use to be able to maximize my load carrying capacity?

RE: Building or Modifying a kit to carry the most external weight
I am considering the SIG Kadet Senior and the Senior Telemaster. Anyone have any experiance with either of these two airplanes?
