Hello Brian , Matt

It is not my plane. It is the plane of a friend, his first pattern. I'm finishing the plane for him. I'm going to install silent blocs to prevent fuse of vibrations.
He is student, he wants to start in F3a pattern the cheaper. So it is not possible for him to buy motor, batteries, Yamada of course !
He prefers to do noise and fly pattern instead of not flying !

It is not the subject of this thread, but that is the problem. F3A became very expensive not only for student. Now I don't see a lot of new pattern modelists. In contests and french championship, number of competitors decrease in France.
May be money is not the only reason.

Now we are lucky not to have problem with noise. Our fields are near real aerodromes and far away cities. Great models make more noise as us.
