Hi all
I was looking around for some info regarding a scale vs competition
ships. I cannot seem to take my eyes off of those scale type ships!
The Icare DG800 or Duo Discus, these are alot more appealing to me
than the flying pencil types. Not that there's anything wrong with
them it's just, well, if I am going to drop $600, It's gotta look
like a dream. Enough ramblin', my questions are,
1) What are the major differences between them?
2) If we say wingspan and airfoil are the same (roughly), are
they going to be completely different to fly?
I am not currently flying competively, but may consider in the future say F3J.
3) Will the scale type ship be competitive? I also am leaning
towards a foam/sheeted instead of full molded as I have no experience
with composites.
4) I also noticed that the majority of companies that sell
scale all say that airtow is recommended,true?
I would like to hi start mainly. I hope that I have not asked a
question that has already been answered. I would like to hook up
with someone out there that has this type of sailplane. Any
suggestions regarding plane choice would also be appreciated!
Thank You for Your Time
