The 29.5", especially if you > go full house IS just a toy (read "novelty"--and fits ALL car back > seats/trunks); if you go for full house at 40" you may be in for some > REGULAR real FUN!!
I pushed for 1m when this first started. I think it would have developed into a more serious class. When the Mosquito class started, we didn't have as much cheap, small radio gear, now there is a huge amount of tiny goodies waiting for tiny airplanes. When I designed my M-Hawk and Noseeum, there was a fairly good following, but there weren't enough people in one place at the same time, so events never materialized. The real following came from "pocket flyers" who wanted a small plane to fly anywhere, all the time. When I redesigned the Noseeum to a DLG, the size didn't matter anymore because the launch became rather extreme. I think the mosquito class would really be a blast for small field events like hlg golf, steeple chase, fly through the hula hoop, etc. I have never seen enough of them in one place though. I have used the Noseeum for hlg golf on a 9 hole course against 60" planes and it was hard to keep up with a par of 2 to 4 strokes per hole. Most of the 60" planes were averaging 1 to 2 strokes. I would actually prefer the mosquitos for golf, they are easier to maneuver through the trees. I have scaled it up to 1m and it flys very well, but you need a larger area to fly. I guess the real advantage the MHLG is that you can fly anywhere. I like being able to fly in parking lots or anywhere I can find a 60ft. clearing............
