Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / May 2004

I'm afraid I haven't seen the model you mention but what I can say is:

i) If it uses an MDS 15 then your 32 will be too heavy and too powerful

ii) Ground looping is more common on tail draggers - aircraft with tricycle
undercarriage hardly ever ground loop if at all.  I think that ground
looping is caused by the torque of the engine and prop.  If you open the
throttle too quickly then the engine torque will be large compaired with the
forward motion and the plane will sharply turn on the ground (usually to the
right).  Once you know that a plane groud loops its just a matter of
advancing the throttle slowly to build up speed and use opposite rudder to
keep it straight.

The plane you should go for will depend very much on your current flying and
building ability.

Cheers,
