With 22 hours of accumulated flight time, the old bird needed something to freshen her up. So I bought a new OS .65 AX for the P-7. I put the piston and liner from the crashed Vertigo II (6 hours time) into the new block and - Presto! Instant hot engine transplant. No break in required! The outgoing engine, a Magnum .61 XLS is still pulling strong, and will find it's way into the new Super Kaos 60 that I recently acquired. The .65 is happily turning an 11 x 8 APC at 14,160 RPM burning Cool Power 15 %. I was all set to fly her this morning, but I was blown out. Doggone Santa Ana winds! OK, next weekend we will give it a go.
