[NSRCA-discussion] Park flyers for pattern practice?

[Dwayne Brown]

Joe Gross' airplane uses a wing with an airfoil.  The $100 price is with
less expensive servos.  If better servos are wanted a price adjustment can
be made.  His email is grossdojo at wmconnect.com.  If you want to call him his
phone number is 580-482-3504.  He had flown pattern since he was 12 years
old but is now retired from that regime. He is a personal friend since 1966.

<SNIP - lots of good insight>

Thanks for the feedback and reality check George :)  I was thinking
about that blue foamie of yours when I was writing my query this
morning.  Part of my thinking is that airfoiled flying surfaces of a
built up park flyer would help it fly less like a foamie, but your
point about wing loading helping the tracking and penetration in wind
is right on as well.  Great food for thought!
