Who knows for sure in a situation like that, did the 2.4 guy lose a bird? If that reciever from your crash is still working, i sure would't trust it again either. Maybe the folks over at Wright Patterson fired up one of those UFOs they don't have and hairlipped you guy's freqs.

Tacx, so you came out at 8.75 huh, mine built out at 9.5. Yours out to have a bit more float than mine does for sure. When i was doing my maiden flights with that big flat prop and a stupidly slow idle with onboard glow, chopping the power on short final nearly cost me the airplane till i got a handle on what was going on and quit doing that.. Thinking about setting up some kinda 'high idle' thottle curve for playing in the pattern as insurance against too low of a power setting.. Like it is, if i chop the power completely the wheels best be over the runway.

Shepard, sounds like yours is comming on! Keep us posted on how it is shaping up.

Has anyone seen or heard from SigMaster? He has a hog on the bench also.
