    Could you just run my Snow Miser on the Dragon course once or twice and let me know if it can go faster or if i need to slow it down?

    You were matched up in the first round with another very strong competitor. Very unfortunate to have such a close match setup so early in the tournament! Good race and nice plane.

    I really like your plane, do you think you guys could take a look at my plane to make it a little more reliable. I am on iOS do I am limited.

    @Alienbeef0421 well like I said. I modified it for reliablity which your direct version didn't have. and this type of setup at least in the rear is one of the best ways I know to do that.

    @Typhlosion130 but you do have a lower wing load (I have 12.4lbs)

    @Typhlosion130 TC9 had 4 stabilizers (twin tail, with sharklets) so the wobble was reduced. Reduce pitch correction wobble and it goes faster.

    @Alienbeef0421 yea but its not necessarily by choice. the thing wobbled hard which made it unreliable. and the roll wasn't strong enough at full pitch after trying to fix that so I had to fix that then. bit of speed reduction I know but this is for reliability.

    Cooooooooool

    However, I learned that the weight has a big impact on top speed. Above 6,000 lbs and the top speed is reduced by 5% (thats why my TC8 maxes at 754 because it weighs 8k lbs)
    TC9, however, is proposed to have 4k lbs and should max at 757.

    @Alienbeef0421 Here's my version. fixed the sever yaw wobble. muh more stable. tad bit slower unfortunatly but 2:13 reliable is better than what ever time it could have gotten had it finished the one of 5 tests I gave.
