Re: [RCSE] Lachowski Pod For Sale
Even the larger pod Phil is using wont be long enough. I see that the Mantis fuse Terry makes has a pretty long nose moment so I will probably go with that pod.

Re: [RCSE] Lachowski Pod For Sale
Really long tail moment Mike. Shock absorbing nose cone? How would one do that?

That would be the longest of the bunch. It will help if you have a heavy tail or need a really long tail moment. The longer Supra pod I make is plenty long enough to balance a model with a reasonable tail. With a light tail, you have to make sure you don't put in too heavy of a battery pack. The shorter pod usually requires a little nose weight. It is also smaller, only 2" diameter. It also penetrates soft ground really well. So if you are in the part of the country that gives 0 landing points if the tail isn't on the ground, it's a bad choice. I like the shorter pod better for landings. Long noses tend to have more spring in them and bounce more. Unless you put on a shock absorbing nosecone. Terry's fuselage is well suited for that setup since the nose just slides over the pod.
