Default RE: Scale Dummy Continental Engine

Not a very exciting flight except that we dead sticked. As it ran out of runway (barely) it fliped over but no damage at all. Turns out the engine mounting bolts loosened. Changed the prop from the 18x6 to a 16x6 with which it flew. Need to do some trim adjustments, am in the process.
I have to admit that the glide was superb, what a sight. Majastic to say the least. My buddy who is the flight instructor at our club was the skillful pilot on that flight that managed to keep the flight from becoming a disaster.

I will report again when we get it in the air again but not before Friday.

Happy 4th everybody
