>I've been flying the Dragonette from Daves Aircraft works . . . .it flies >great! Any of you guys care to share what micros you fly and where (slope, >etc). I haven't managed to thermal the dragonette yet but its great on the >slope!!! Can any body recommend a more high performance micro (rudder >elevator only--no mixing)--perhaps one with greater light lift >potential---these things are soooo much fun. I am flying a Noseeum now and like it pretty well--much better after I got a tape induced warp out of a wing but I am a bit heavy at 3.8 oz using a pair of Li-Ion Duracell DLCR2's for power. I think it would have to be 2.8 oz for 1.5 oz /sq ft wing loading which is what the outdoor free flight hand launch folks work towards I am told. This is with 32" wing span--just over Mosquito legal. My guess at dead air time would be 15 seconds on a good toss. What are you getting with the Dragonette? No big thermals for me yet either but I am an new flyer, but I bet the noseeum would be really fun on a slope. I think it flys better than my Zagi THL. I must say that tossing around such a small plane makes me feel like a kid. Its almost like throwing paper airplanes. Mosquito Hawk is almost done, PITCHERONS for controls!!. That ought to add something to my urban flying experience... If you don't mind 'two-sticking it', you can avoid mixing by using ch 2 and 3, elev/throttle to control the elvons on a flying wing--might be counter intuitive on a v-tail. On order: Red Herring and a Nymph. Nymph looks to be high performance but prissy and fragile, Red Herring is open question for me. In any case, in about a month I will have 4 mosquito or near mosquito class HLGs to compare. Gone and got myself all excited, gonna go flying now. breck > >--Jonathan >RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
