About Le Barons Cup
From Monza Red on RC Groups:
"I retired to France in 2015 where the houses are cheaper and the cost of living less especially if you grow your own vegetables! Last winter I built a Baron 1914, an iconic French trainer dating from the 1970s which resembles a WW1 monoplane fighter with massively increased tail surfaces for stability. The whole thing looks like something from a children's cartoon film. It has a wingspan of 1.66 metres or 66". I modified it to incorporate ailerons. After I had finished it I decided to enter a competition La Coupe Des Barons (Barons' Cup) which required me to build another wing as ailerons are not allowed in the competition. Originally the model was intended for a 19 two-stroke, for the competition something a little more powerful is allowed. Entrants using a two-stroke engine are restricted to a maximum size of 0.35cu. ins which is nearly twice the size of the prototype's engine. Competitors using four-strokes are limited to a 40 and those using electric power are limited to a maximum power of 825 Watts. I had planned to use a four-stroke engine in my Baron but as the carburetter is rather worn, its reliability was questionable so I've converted it to electric power, after all I didn't want to be stuck on the flight-line with a stalled engine!
