All you are saying about opennpennyplane I confirm. Monoplanes are too unprodictable I feel also due to beiing too short coupled. I flew a 8 inch chord model for a while a disaster. I could not get both the cruise and climb dialed in. On this note old f1d and todays int stick are rigid models and you know the settings and can exploit the mid hight torque to get a slow long climb and super cruise. Something not possible with the variable geometry airframes of thebrestricted rubber weight. Once upon a time I had a model a biplane with a narrow chord 24 inch stab this resolved the issue but was out ruled the year after at usic. This model climbed as if it was on rails! So now its either you fly a biplane with donthrust or no point!
Othervise a great event and increasing the length of open pp may allow for monoplanes to be competetive and get away from the rubber restricted F1M! Back to te same question we have so many restrictive events!
