Designed by Canadair
aeronautical engineer Scott Black, the Nooner is intended to be a
Speed 400 sport pattern racer capable of winning a “Piker class” event.
The Piker class was introduced by another Canadian electric flyer, Robert
Pike from Southern Ontario, it was created as an entry level event in Pylon
racing with an airframe that did not need to be highly sophisticated nor would
use high end onboard equipment to be competitive. With the time, the Nooner
has become so popular in the North Eastern E-racing league, that the
"Piker class" has become almost a one design class race, many
newcomer have enjoyed it's safe flight behavior and continue to fly it in many
occasions.
As
a result the Nooner is typically an excellent sport model. Low wing
loading, relatively large wing area for a small plane and high aspect wing
planform gives this little speed demon its fast but predictable and stable
flying characteristics. The Nooner is both a race contender and a lunch
time flying session sport model.
ICARE
is now manufacturing a high quality ARC kit of this fine electric racer that
features a ready
built balsa sheeted wing with pre-cut and sanded ailerons and a sleek ready for
radio installation pre-colored fiberglass fuselage. A good hardware package is
also included.
