Here it is, my latest design...a Dewoitine D.520. A fast and sporty plane that can be built in a day and fits in a car seat.
-Summary
-Speed
I'm not good with guessing speeds, so don't take my word on this but I'd say 50-60 maybe even 70 mph...
-Stalls
The ailerons get very mushy, but the actual stall isn't bad as it just falls straight down and you just have to gain speed to recover.
-Launching
Quite simple just launch at about 30 degrees and expect a little bit of torque roll.
-Landing
If you watched the video you'll see it comes in quite slow with a little bit of throttle and you just need to chop it right before you land.
-Feel
This is a very sporty, go fast kinda plane.
-Aerobatics
Loops, Rolls, stall turns etc. all the basic aerobatics, but I'd suggest staying away from inverted as it requires like 3/4 down stick to stay at a constant altitude.
-Skill level
I would want to make sure that you've flown multiple planes, don't get disoriented while flying and have flown at least 4-5 planes.
-Building
Built with one sheet of foam and all the basic FT fold styles this is a very quick and easy build.
