Default RE: sig astro hog engine?

G'day


My new Astrohog had it first flight yesterday. It has a Saito 82 in the nose. Plenty of power even though the engine is new and running on the rich side.

I built my first one as a tail dragger and it was fine but this one is built as a trike. I can only say that the trike is easier to take off, though it still wants to go left, but the landings are really great. I came in a bit fast on the first landing but once she touched the ground she just stuck there. No bounce at all. Second landing was a little slower but very similar. No bounce.

I am hoping to get it in the air again today.

Cheers
