Re: ***SPAMTAGPTD: Re: [RCSE] 2 Meter Comments

[Jeff Steifel]

when I started I flew 2 meter. then went to open then got another 2 meter... A Slegers 2M Spectrum w/3021 airfoil. What a great little plane that was. I flew it against the unlimited and did well at club contests and did ok at the ESL. I loved that plane. Then came planes like the Grand Esteem and my little 2M was a closet flier. I couldn't get that plane out of the closet at all. Didn't care, I had an Esteem.... Then my Spectrum went in at the Nats when a fellow ESLer was on my frequency during a flight. He was moved for one round and forgot to replace his module... Damn good plane gone to waste. It had more squares due to the tripple taper than my current Fazer which has double taper. So forgetting the AR the more squares in a 2m the better it seems. Since you are limited by span... too much chord though and you'll be draggy and useless.... (NO SCIENTIFIC data here)... Be light like the Organic and you'll be good too... The 2M mantis is light and does well. But ITS THE PILOT...... But now that I fly unlimited exclusively I find the little sports car 2M... a handful....they just turn damn fast, launch ok, and spec out real quick... Man I gotta build an Agea type plane... to beat up on a Duck..... QUACK.... The views expressed here are strictly my own. In no way does RCSE support my rantings... And yes next year I will bring a can of BEANO to avoid the bean fields.. Signed  :-( :-( :-( :-(  4 bean field landings in unlimited Jeff.  But I almost spanked some of you guys.... :-) Thomas Koszuta wrote: I guess I should have made the question more obviously rhetoric to provoke others to answer.   I do like the 2M birds as much or better than the bigger ones.  I wanted to see what "you's guys" thought.   Tom Koszuta ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 11:55 AM Subject: Re: [RCSE] 2 Meter Comments In a message dated 7/31/2006 10:40:57 A.M.
