<DIV>I was thinking about this the other day. Why don't we change the fuse design to stick the motor out in the breeze? Kind of like a WWI rotary or a foamy. Seems like we're trying hard to keep the planes identical in design between electrics and fuel for no apparent reasons</DIV>

<DIV>Also now that huge props and braking are available, will fuselages slim down some?</DIV>
