<DIV>While I agree good ducting can be better than hanging out there, I seriously doubt if most modelers do any better than hanging it out. Plus I think an outrunner all polished up woul look pretty cool with the fuse faired into it. </DIV>

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