BIG DUST- SUCCESS
First flight with my new big dust 66" long wing span 49" engine ROSSI 90 DF weight 8 lbs. Had problems with launch cart so two guys did a hand launch, the plane flew great , rock soild, long glide path, top speed a little over 100 mph est. Need to do some work on cart to keep the plane on it unit has enough speed.

Prop size 11-7 trun 17,000 with two shims in head, next time out Ill remove one of the shims and try a 12-6 i have a JETT 90 and that the right prop for it. With the 11-7 did not seem to get enought bit. Attach pic at the field.

Dave 03B--Probable next weekend a friend said he would take some video and post it. Got to try a slow( high alpha) pass, so far all my flights were speed.
