RE: GP Waco?
I received the engine back yesterday from my friend Tom, my engine expert. Tom this time modified the carburettor a bit in his attempt to fix the erratic tuning and poor reliability (This engine was involved in a crash before it was rebuilt and mounted in the WACO) by making new harder spring to hold against the barrel and some modifications to the needle valve.
To prove to me that it is now 100% reliable, he brought with him the test stand to the airfield. The engine was running very smoothly, so Iwas convinced it can go back into the WACO.
Today Imounted it back in the WACO and re-checked the CG. Iwill wait this time for an opportunity to fly it on a day with less wind then what I had on the last couple of times.
Idecided no to bother at the moment with all the "look enhancement" pieces and also Iam going to try the Master Airscrew 16x6 prop instead of the APC 15x8 Ihad previously.
