Contest Balsa Sheeted wings, stabs, hatch.

The demand for this type of plane here and in overseas has been constant. We will have a build thread after the March and will Fly it in late June or late July.
Thanks

I'm guessing its in the 46-50% scale ball park. Would a 3W 240 be overkill for this beast or maybe a 3W 212 would be better?v ZDZ 210?

Hello,

It will be designed around a 180cc-210cc market. We have had many request's to make this size since last year. We were retooling for the cowl, canopy etc. Again were taking small steps and will have it flying in 6 months. It will be a limited number were making and to date we have 12 deposits from customers all over the globe.

Thanks

John

Hi,

When will you be taking deposits on the plane. Me and a friend would like to buy two when available. I have a ZDZ210 that needs a new home.

I suppose our new EVO 300cc would be a bit much for this or would it??
