Two challenge suggestions

[ScottGridley]

First, "miniature reno air races" using park scale or UM p-51s, Josh v. Josh, of course!
Second, a high-wind challege - what's the smallest plane you can fly on a very windy day?

I like that!

oooooo.... now there is an idea!

with the HK 160 mah batteries my brother and I flew our ember 2's in 10-12 mph wind, well mostly it was more like a slightly controllable kite.

i flew a park zone p-51 in 15-17mph wind

For the "mini reno air race", they could use the planes from 100mph under $100 and try budget pylon racing

Perhaps something like this?

The tiny black plane flew circles around the big IMAC-model. The prop is a 3*3. only 1 aile to save... The plane is made of sanded down depron totally covered with fiber glass.

That would be awesome....

One thing I know--the plane has to be a tiny bit faster than the wind to be able to keep from being blown away. I've flown a PZ micro T-28 in those conditions.

Why does it only have one aileron?
I know that in theory it should work as there is nothing really that wouldn´t make it possible for a plane to fly with one aileron.

Is it due to the laziness during building it or because you wanted to save weight?
I have never seen it before and it looks kinda weird.

Here we go!

Yes, but also I guess it would have more drag on one side when using aileron so it would also act as left rudder.
