We've been blessed with some pretty nice weather the past several weeks here in the Northeast. Have continued to fly the 33Gt and now have two gallons through it, some 30 flights. I think it is fully broken in finally. Still running the 19x11 and getting tremendous, quiet power out of it. A friend of mine has an 18x12 3 blader that will lend to me so we'll see how it runs on the set-up. Particularly interested in quietness and brakes
I will be installing the 33 in my new Aesthesis pattern plane this week. Really curious about how this combination will work
Aesthesis and OS 33GT are well matched.
The plane is heavier than I would like at 10# 14ozs, but the OS still flies this draggy model around at half throttle. Figured out how to put a nose ring around the sensor. Ground the sensor housing base about 1mm giving me about 2mm total clearance. That's enough to lay in the rubber ring. Forward engine movement still happens but snce much of the ring is rubber, it's not too much of an issue.
It was great to see Aesthesis take to the air with authority. The SAP180 didn't quite have enough beans and the Mintor 38 derfinitely did not.
