I suited up against some cool winds today, had to bench run the MDS .15 with the mangled bent pipe. Responding to taunts from fellow RCU members to run it with a flight prop, I made a 5.5x5 from an APC 7x5. It staged without much trouble (hmm, more prop load) and recorded 27,800 without trying to squeeze it to death.

Made a new stab today, also fixtured the fuselage between two Al extrusions and tacked the tail together nice and straight. I am moving the vertical stab back stab stays in stock position, but internal linkage. 1/64 ply caps cover the joiner pockets in the middle photo.
