Here is the coolest rc plane that I have ever seen................... must check it out!wow  :salute:  :thumbsup:

This is what Michael - who has designed and flown the plane has to say..............

"The plane has an 80 inch span, an 8 foot length and sits over 2 feet high. It flies right now on only 600 watts max on a 3 cell lipo pack. The motor flying it is only a 40 sized Turnigy 42-60 from Hobby City.

About 15 amps or 150 watts are necessary to maintain flight. It lifts of and climbs easily on 250 watts.

Total weight with 2 4000 mah 3 cell packs in parallel is about 8.2 lbs. Total area is 3520 inches square or 24.4 sq ft.

I could not find the prop I wanted so I carved one out of poplar from home depot."

Quite an accurate description............ yet the grace displayed by the model in flight and a 8 feet plane turning at such a small turn radius........ great to watch.

8.2lb at 250watts equates to roughly 30watts per pound. I thought the minimum wattage required to lift off was in the tune of twice the amount :headscratch:

Pankaj, It also depends on the shape of the wing and the wing loading, and may be many other factors which I am not aware of now.

It's the biggest low and slow flyer I've watched but it's the not the slowest lowest plane I've seen. My Pico Tiger Moth with a 5 mph headwind will literally float, hover like a heli.  On no wind days, she can maintain level fight at 6 mph and when I do slow speed runs with high alpha, she is at walking speed. 

However, my Parkzone Night Vapor beats the entire competition with a stall speed of 2 mph!
