I suggest you try F1M because they are easier to build close to the minimum weight than F1L, particularly if your choice of wood is limited. The models can be built with solid fuselages to start with if you don't want to try a tube.
The model will, with decent light wood, be stiffer than an F1L and will be easier to fly.
Good luck! Bob

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Indoor Class suggestion
Hi All,
I am from Indonesia and for last 2 years try to socialized indoor rubber powered in my country. Some event have been held but still on the club event level with about 35 contestants from several province in Indonesia. Usually we compete on LPP and Open Scale and also SO for High School.
This year indoor rubber powered has been accepted by Indonesian Aero Sport Federation (FASI) as once of aeromodelling official events.
For this event I want to add one more duration class (beside LPP) but don't know which one better (F1M or F1L). Do you has a suggestion?
For your information due to difficulties usually we used local balsa that mostly heavier than yours. Cover also using local material. That's why the lightest LPP have been build is 4.5 gram. Rubber we used is TAN Super Sport. Now some of us have a balsa contest grade and hope we can reduce weight to 3.1 gram.
Gayus
