Title: Low wing racer?
Post by: sihinch on June 08, 2014, 05:29:41 PM
Just a thought - do you think there would be a disadvantage to building a Piker racer in low-wing configuration?

If I mount the servos on the top of the wing I thought it would allow me to have a battery hatch and also minimse wing mount damage on landing (if you snag a wing tip.)

I don't see why it would be a problem other than making it harder to hand launch.  I like your way of thinking... a different approach...
