Very nice! I am impressed on how smooth it seemed to run, judging by vibes on airframe....smooth indeed. Keep up the great work and thank you for posting all of your findings for people like me who love this type of experimenting.
Thank you....The wood airframe definitely helps there. Just a little extra 3/32" wood was all I added to the front bay in the fuselage. I showed that earlier in one of the photos
I don't have a nose ring in the cowlas yet. I haven't seen any issues yet with maintaining flight path. My mount is somewhat stiffer than usual on purpose, to see if I could get away without one, at least for now. As the mount's rubber breaks in, I may have to add a nose ring.
The Mintor aluminum pipe is a little too noisy for my taste. I may change that pipe to the EScomposites 30G or a carbon canisterat some point. The exposed pipe doesn't help there either. I will probably stuff the stinger area with some steel wool to help attenuate some of that noise. The stingeris a bolt-on tube and easily comesoff the Mintor pipe.
I'm looking for the mellow, low toned sound that my OS33GT/ESComposites 40G makes in my Aesthesis. That set-up is very subdued. We've taken some video of that also and hope to have it posted at some point.... I have to give credit to my friend Auggie for assisting with all the videotaking, editing and posting. Thanks Auggie!
