Default armorall

Yep three drops in 3/4 gallon and nothing but pure fuel in the line. Same engine,prop,fuel,holder as last week. Last week i could see tons of air going in and the engine would surge. Today steady as a rock not one single bubble in the line. Im a believer.

Takeoff today was better. Straight as an arrow for 25 feet then sank. Only thing that saved me was we launch from on top of a rise and have about 10 foot drop to the weeds. Cut the grass with the blade. Im sure this is due to the thrust issue with the small prop.

Im still skeptical about 200 mph with a 7 inch pitch but i'll try anything, heck i may even armorall the exterior of the plane to make it even more slippery.

BTW does anybody think the armorall may cause a problem with anything?
