Looks like this thread has gone to sleep again. Maybe I can wake it up?
I flew my DVII on Monday and had a ball. I replaced the 14x6 wooden prop (after breaking it on the first landing) with a 13x8 Master Airscrew. I also tweaked the low end on the carb because she was running a bit rich and wouldn't idle too well. End result was a few nice flights until Inoticed the covering coming loose on the under side of the bottom wings. This bird sat on the shelf at the LHSfor a long time before I bought it last year so, I imagine the glue on the covering has lost some of it's sticky-stuff. It's an easy repair but, haven't gotten "round toit" yet.
The Saito FA80 seems to like the 13x8 MA. I peaked it to around 8100 rpm and left it a bit fat. It was our warmest day of the year so far ....91deg. F. I'm running 20% Power Master and it seems to like it very well. Plenty of power and the fuel, along with some baffeling, keep it running cool.
