| 1353.1 | What is you selection criteria? Do you have the engine? | ZENDIA::REITH | Jim Reith DTN 226-6102 - LTN2-1/F02 | Thu Aug 29 1991 15:29 | 8 |
| I had very good luck in the past with the Carl Goldberg Junior Falcon.
I built several over the years and they all flew well. One nice thing
is that standard size equipment fits in it. I'm almost done with an Ace
GLH. This is a 1/2A pylon racer and looks like it will be a nice
performer. Good quality kit. An 05 electric might be another option.
The ElectriCub is usually discounted in Tower Hobbies and they have
combos with everything included. There's also a PT Electric which has a
good reputation

| 1353.2 | Try Flyline | DENVER::BEATTY | | Sun Sep 08 1991 20:44 | 10 |
| Flyline Models out of Fairfax, Virginia has some neat 1/2A kits. They
use the older style of building by built up frame etc. I am working on
their Great Lakes Trainer. You must have a dremel tool or a small
power jig saw since the balsa parts are printed on sheets.
Have you thought about putting an .049 on a glider?? The House of
Balsa 2X4 and 2X6 are both great with a pylon mounted 049, very slow,
forgiving and tough too.

| 1353.3 | Couldn't find 1/2 A in the dictionary... :-) | FRIGID::DFONSECA | I heard it through the Grapevine... | Mon Sep 09 1991 10:03 | 5 |
| This has probably been answered somewhere else, but what does
1/2 A stand for? I'm just learning all of the in-n-outs of RC lingo
thanks!

| 1353.4 | Want to talk dethermalizers?? | ZENDIA::REITH | Jim Reith DTN 226-6102 - LTN2-1/F02 | Mon Sep 09 1991 10:19 | 10 |
| From back in the good ol' days of free flight, the planes were broken
into classes by displacement. .60 size is D, .29 &.35 are the boundry
between classes (put a .35 on a .29 class plane and fly in the next
higher class) and finally at the low end .049 is class 1/2A and .051 is
class A where you can fly in the next class by sticking on the .051
(and this explains why Cox has two engines so close in displacement)
I don't have an AMA rule book in here but I suspect that the class
designation is broken down by the cc of the engine since a .60 is a
10cc engine and a .30 would be a 5cc.
