<DIV><FONT color=#000000>One must remember history to help here. Has any
past changes ever brought the cost of pattern down? I believe it has always
made it more expensive such as what happened with engine
displacement.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000> I am
envisioning a new pattern plane for the new weight.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>It will be a monoplane, 78" ws, 78" length, fuse
height 18", fuse width 10", wing root 25", wing tip15", 15degree sweep at
the quarter chord, 12% airfoil making the wing root 3" thick, stab 28" and
nearly 2" thick. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000> I hope it
doesnt look exagerated, but I would be afraid this would be the trend.
Obviously I dont know to what extent the poor flying quality of this kind of
design would be, but who knows what could happen. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>You know more about pattern design than that. The engine required to pull
that monster will surely weigh in at four pounds add gear, radio exhaust
system for another four pounds and covering or paint of a half pound that
means the airframe will have to be three and a half pounds. you better start
looking for weightless balsa. Be sure to install giant control surfaces so you
will be able to use it as a fun fly and all your effort wont be wasted</DIV>
