Front Electric Sustainer

Would that be 1987 Pirelli?? I've heard that sometimes FAI Tan is comperable. I seem to recall a man-carrying rubber powered plane making an attemp in the late 1980's or early '1990's. That value was from a 2008 NFFS Sympo paper for Tan 2. I don't fly rubber, preferring 50m of towline or a screaming Cyclon 06, but IIRC Tan 2 is now about as good as the best Pirelli and the Tan SuperSport is coming pretty close too. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
