Reducing Engine Power
My father built many glo powered freeflighters. I myself never built a engine powered freeflight. I love rubber power though. You just can't imagine unless you see it first hand how high a Cox .020 freeflight plane can go on a 10 second run. It's truly amazing. Even with the plane trimmed to fly in a circle it's very easy to lose it if it grabs a thermal. I've lost rubber power models the same way. A great example here of modeler's ingenuity to tame the engine. Ken

You should see the rate of climb of a racing .15 powered open power model!
