[NSRCA-discussion] Header Brace

Yeah, about a 1.75 size can be designed to fly extremely well.  My Fresca was a dream to fly, but I built it too lightly and the wing failed. I sure would like to have another.

  Hi Dean,

   

  I don't think smaller airplanes are a bad idea. If I try to fly a small airplane and make it look good it is easier to fly the two meter airplane. I think the Japanese are flying a 110 size class that would be fun to try also.

  Hi John,

  A year or so ago, I puit together an Excelleron 90 for a review and eventual sale to a newbie.

  Boy! Was it nice to drop a plane into the minivan in one piece!

  It was almost as good as when a Phoenix 8 would fit into the back of a hatchback Camaro in one piece.

   

  Given that everyone will build or buy up to the maximum size limit,

  is there a good enough reason to push on the rules bodies to legislate Pattern plane sizes back down?

  How about 1.6 or 1.7 meters square?

  Will this affect cost and complexity enough to have a beneficial effect on participation?

  Or am I just whistling Dixie?

   

  later,

  Dean

    There seems to be a growing trend toward smaller airplanes among a lot of folks. I sure am enjoying the 90 size Boxer I bought from Ed Miller last summer. Less hassle to transport, assemble and fly. That means I can fly more!
