Here's something interesting.... EVERYONE knows that the FUNTANA had flutter issues... CHECK this out... SO did the full size!! NTSB Identification: CHI88DEC02 . The docket is stored on NTSB microfiche number 39193. 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Wednesday, May 25, 1988 in PONTIAC, MI Probable Cause Approval Date: 7/9/1990 Aircraft: CHAPPEL RATSREPUS 300, registration: N889HC Injuries: 1 Fatal. THE PILOT WAS TESTING THIS EXPERIMENTAL ACROBATIC AIRCRAFT, MAKING A SECOND LOW PASS OVER THE RUNWAY WHEN A PORTION OF THE LEFT WING SEPARATED FROM THE AIRCRAFT, FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF THE LEFT AILERON, 1 1/2 ROLLS TO THE LEFT AND GROUND IMPACT. THE AIRFRAME TOTAL TIME WAS 4 HOURS. ON-SCENE INSPECTION REVEALED NO MASS BALANCE IN THE AILERONS. WITNESSES ESTIMATE SPEEDS AT OR ABOVE 150 MPH.

wow, so many replies  the full scale one looks ugly only because there is no paint job. Picture the full scale Katana with a paint job like krills  (jason nolls) or like the futana 90 that would look awsome |

yup in summer the heat is bad always 100+ - so we look ugly for a few months but must fly - we run moki180's so they get a little hot - the guys using 24cc gas are ok but dont have proper 3d power - give and take!!

I would think that cowl on and proper ducting is more efficient cooling than cowl off. With a small single cylinder glow it may be hard to make that proper ducting though.
