[NSRCA-discussion] Weight

[Lamar Blair]

Yes you will see more than one Aggressor at the Nat's this year I am bring one Glow and one Elect. The Elect version has the new Etra plettenberg motor on it we had to make a small change to be able to use this motor because of the length of the motor/spinner. The motor is built into the spinner, which makes the total length 3.5 inches. These motor mounts on the front of the plane, which only leaves the speed control and battery inside the plane you, do not need a firewall anymore. 

The only problem that I see using this engine is the length of the fuselage if you are not careful you could be over 2 metes.

    Ok Nat here is how it is done ---///===+++ did you get all of that.

    I just finished the Aggressor designed by Ken Blackwell we started talking about making parts for the Aggressor back at the district championships last year. The goal was to make the plane lighter so Jim Woodward could fly elect and keep it under weight. By the time the weekend was over, we were talking about kiting the Aggressor and now that has happen. I test flew the first Nomex Aggressor last Wednesday and I was very happy with the results. I have finished the first Aggressor which has a DZ. 1.60 in it and the flying weight is 9 lbs. 15 oz I am building the next one for elect and I think I can bring it in at 10-10.5 lbs. flying weight.

        Lamar hasn't explained how he got the Silhouette to come out at 9-6 with the DZ 160, RTF.        


      He made it out of lightonium and helium-filled microballoons.
