Sport planes
Sport planes come in a variety
of configurations to do aerobatic flights. This type of plane is probably
the favorite. Combat planesCombat planes come in a variety of configuration. They are built to combat with one and other. By attaching a ribbon to the tail of the plane, this will trail behind when for the other plane to shred. The objective is to shred (cut) a ribbon as close to the other planes tail as possible. Sound like fun..... This is some thing I would like to do when my aerobatic skills get better.

The ZAGI RASOR is the backbone of my flying skills. It has bestowed upon me the confidence to fly with more fun. The fact that this plane is resilient to damage and can be flown after substantial crashing get repair and back in the air in the same day has made this my favorite. Now with the new technologies in brushless motors and Li-Po batteries I can now get up to 20 min flights. The motors are smaller and more powerful. The same can be said for the batteries.
A Canard pusher modified. Originally a rocket motor was
used to propelled the plane up 1000 feet, then it was glided down. It was
then modified for a COX .049 gas motor to get the plane up. This plane was
first introduced in 1992 it has an excellent glide ratio capable of
aerobatic maneuvers unfortunately :-( it is no longer made by ESTES |

The Wonder by SIG was purchased because of the type of design. This fit well in my realm of concepts. A combat wing. I have not finished this plane because it inspired me to build a similar plane from which the KOMBATT was conceived. It was originally design for a .09 or .19 gas engine, but my plans is to outfit the plane with a .05 electric cam motor . I did have the Master Air crew geared folding prop mounted and radio then I borrowed it all for the Russian combat design and flew it. the pilot was not prepare for the type of speed and response this plane had. Since I was use to slow flyers only. |

A kit by GM Precision Products, a sport glider pusher type. I like pushers mainly because damage control there is less chance for the motor and prop being damage from rough landings. This plane prove to be challenging to set up due to a "V" tail configuration. It is a simple plane to build and very well designed. There is plenty of room to fit in the hardware. |
