Tom,
I agree with your comments on the Supras flying qualities. While no
airplane is a Silver Bullet, this one is better than anything I have flown
before. It reads air unbelievably well, has long legs, good float, and launches,
and lands well. TheSupra accelerateseffortlessly from float to

Not necessarily. As you get older, you will find that he who
launches highest frequently loses sight of his model.

Ihave heard the only thing better than the molded Supra is a
lighter bagged one. Yes or no?

I am still 20/15 but the reflexes are starting to go at 59. I have owned and flown most of the F3J birds and just when I think they couldn't get any better the Supra emerges. In the hands of a world class flyer it should do very well at the 2006 Worlds! Tom

Walter,
I flew Tom Kieslings Bagged F3J version over at Istanbul.
WhileI think one flight is to limited to draw conclusions, I can comment
that both models have similar characteristics. One thing that is obvious to me
is thatI cannot build a wing as accurate as the ones that come from Barry.

This is rather far aft hook position which requires
special action during launch. On my Evo program the
left slider is an elevator (speed) trim with a small
gain.
For the launch throw I push the slider all the way
forward
which feeds in a slight amount of down-elevator.

Guys,
No I don't have a Supra. I was addressing aggressive
launch set ups on any model. The tendencies Dr. Drela
mentions in his email are not specific to the Supra,
but are exhibited in every model I've every owned and

I've got 5 plus hours on the Supra and like the set-up at 3.8". The
model rotates and pulls fine even on a low to medium tension launch. The tow
hook is real grippy and I have no problem circle towing it on my Hi Start. I
think that is with out a flat filed on the hook. The model can

I think Dr Drela may have calculated the battery weight difference
between fully charged and completely discharged. Hence he dropped
the 100th resolution. Otherwise I think the spec would be down to
0.05 mm.
