<DIV>Tuhippotu, now there's a name, LOL!! Sounds like an AZTEC King or
something; hahahaha!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Enigma (my original name BTW, not the ZN thingie; they stole it from me and
owe me royalties on my copyright) flies very well and I even competed with it in
a D3C about 5 years ago (2000?). Last time RVP had the DC at his home
field, whenever that was. In better hands, it would win. I just got a
bit heavy handed with all the molded balsa parts and used 1/8" instead of 1/16".
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know it would fly better at 10 pounds (11 wet) than it does at 11 3/4.
One of these days I just may make a mold of that fuse and cast it in
composite</DIV>

<DIV>Matt,</DIV>
<DIV>We used to have the Hippo Tippo. You could call it the Hippo Tuttu or the
Tuttu Hippo or the Tuhippotu. Seriously I bet it flies pretty good at that
weight. Nat</DIV>

fly like Eric says(jello on a plate). I liked that one.<BR><BR>Jim

<DIV>Jimmy I agree with you here. My Enigma pattern design is 11 3/4 pounds
and is almost 13 pounds wet. It flies like a hippo in a tuttu. The OS 160 is
plenty of power but the plane simply isn't as nimble as what we are used
to</DIV>
