Default What is the best 40 sized profile?

I am looking for a 40 sized profile airplane that can hover well, as well as good harriers, snap rolls, upright and inverted spins. Must also be competitive in all pylon races, IMAC, and pattern. Must be big enough to see, small enough to fit on my bicycle. Durable and light. and be less than $50.00. The plane needs a powere to weight ratio of 2.5-1 or greater and it should be able to run off canola oil.

You might want to think about running maple syrup. I hear it gives more power, and fights rust better. It does however leave a sticky mess on your plane! Also in cold weather it might not work out to well. FLow problems you know!

Only a sissy with a broken collar bone would think about using syrup...

Hey, I've got a Hunkajunk bushing 40 that spins a 11x6 21,000 RPM's, and I only paid $49.95 for it. Best deal out there, you need one!

And it runs on peanut oil!

I was looking for a similar aircraft but I can't decide on ARF or Kit built.[sm=confused.gif][sm=confused.gif] Which one were you looking for?

I would also like to be able to take it to Jet meets.....Can turbines run on syrup[sm=bananahead.gif][sm=bananahead.gif]?
