Re: [RCSE] Best 2 Meter for NATS

2008-01-05 Thread Mike Lachowski
I've flown an Aegea 2M the past few Nats.  Succeeded in getting wood 
with a 0 flight. Last year was nice since the winch direction was set up 
with relatively short lines.   Also, got to fly a 9303 2.4 this year.  
The model needs it for the zoom. It's really light and the maneuver at 
the top of the launch is very, very quick.  So the faster response time 
definitely helped since I don't fly it that often.


Model weighed in around 23 oz.  HLG on steroids.

Everyone else, please continue flying Ducks.

years past.

One of these days a plane will be able to take into account other design
factors besides this limited one.

2008-01-04 Thread Craig Greening
Not really. Mike Lachowski was handing us at beating for a while at the Nats 
last year with his Aegea, a pretty new design. The Organic has nowhere near 
the wing area of a Duck, and still launches fine. Flying 2M at the Nats, or 
anywhere, is far more about decision making than ultimate launch height. Not 
that it doesn't help, but time and again at the Nats you'll see the high guy 
get beat by a bad turn or bad decision off launch.


Craig.

[RCSE] Best 2 meter for NATS

2007-12-28 Thread eschlitzkus

OK here we go, what is the best 2 meter for the NATS??? I know you guys
will say the Duck, but you can't get one. In the past my super light,
thin cord home brew(26oz)did not do very well. I had my  :censored: 
kicked on launch do to 300 winch line. I was thinking something with
more cord and mass will do better.
