Today was the first truly warm day we have had. Temps in mid to upper 70's. Still not summer but not cold either. The barrowed 19x11 went back to its owner and I flew with the 18x10 Mezjlik 3 blade. Needles actually needed a bit of leaning...a combination of warmer weather and lower load.
Anyway, on the third run it got a little stubborn so I used the damned meat grinder on it. The cone slipped causing the front end to shake violently, damaging the nose ring set-up. Aggravating since it ruined a perfectly good flying day. Damage was minimal and has been repaired...............
My Aesthesis is absolutely a dream to fly now. It has the right amount and kind of power to make for some outstanding flying. I can't wait until the next time I get to fly. Feel like a kid again......
I got a chance to fly Matt's Aesthesis yesterday, and itflies very well. I think I may have briefly flown it last year, before it had the OS 33GT in it, and before Matt had worked out the trim requirements. No comparison to how it is now! I went straight into the Master sequence and it was very comfortable, no issues, no limits.
Everything claimed about the power of the pipedOS 33GT is true. It has plenty of power for any 2M ship I can think of.The pipe setup wasn't peaky, actually fairly nice, and the sound level was very low with the 3 blade Mezjlik. Very nice combo!
