Yes, the small engine speed bug seems to be a fun one to catch so far! And why not? There is a perverse satisfaction in a 1cc model that can whip every sport model at the club field. Of course, I'd have to show up at the club with it to do that, but speaking hypothectically.
Indeed, handling these high performance little devils seems to amount to mounting them on an airplane, fueling them up and go flying. So much for bad handling. Now, with pipes.. maybe not quite so fuel 'n' go.
I scrounged a rod for the UCTKAM 2.5, so once that shows up I will finally have the front 4" I needed for the half-built 24" SWR delta that's been lying around for a while. It was going to be a Profi .061 model but I ended up building the little low wing racer for it instead. Which, thanks to SmokinRV's nice prop nut he made for me, is now checked out and ready to go again. I'll clock it next time out if it is behaving.
