Ho Hum, yet another Patriot born...
Test flew it yesterday afternoon. Got about 5 flights on it. Wow, as quick as I remember for the the days of old. It seemed smaller and faster than it used to, then another fellow said I was just getting older...
With a 10x8 prop on the TT .46 with the pre-tuned Macs pipe, and 30% Wildcat heli fuel, I just richened up the upper end, and flew the snot out of it. Very low idle, and would scream at the top. Gotta love it. I still need to tach it. Worked super well, at half the price of the Jett. Not the fastest airplane in town, probably, but it sure impressed me and most of the guys sitting around yesterday. It's plenty fast enough for Saturday piddling in wierd/high winds, which is what I wanted...
