Here's the situation:
I built a Mini Scout, I like it, though it's a daily struggle to find the sweet spot for the CG. I had hoped to build it light enough to fly in my backyard and have some fun dodging trees and whatnot. It came in at about 5 ounces RTF and is just a bit too fast to fly in tight quarters.
Here's the question:
Has anyone designed a very slow yet nimble plane with similar electronics as the Scout that can fly in tight quarters, dodge trees, shrubs, etc.? I think it would be a fun project and wanted to check with my fellow FT crew to get some design ideas before I embark. Again, the goal is small and slow yet nimble enough to make some relatively sharp turns...if that's even possible...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
