Hi Guys

Well yesterday I did trials in the garage as in running the Turbine , Three runs keeping in mind -38.5 below C here in Alberta Canada so the heat was turned up !! Today balanced the A/C @ 170mm from leading edge as outlined by most , the weight came in as 46.0 lbs , I cut the nose off and will install the two ECU batteries & a little weight , I am awaiting two new canopy's from FE . as I destroyed the original by trying to speed up the drying process . Its a small price to pay !

I am going to start to try and find different springs as I believe most of gear problems are from the cylinders bottoming out due to the weight , I know some of you use the Yellow gear and they seem to look like a better choice , If there is any gear better than the kit supplies Please let me know .

Cheers Nate
