Yes, looking forward to more flights, but right now it's gotta be pushing 100 deg F and 100 percent humidity! Gonna have to make flights early in the day before it really heats up. We got lucky here with temps in the 80's and rain a week ago, but that was too good to last.
There is also the possibility it will make more RPM once airborne and of course, after she gets broken-in some. Saito prints in their booklet that 7K RPM is the practical engine speed. So, I expect her to really get going after some break in time. Flying is the best way to break an engine in, far as I'm concerned. I haven't run an engine on a static test stand since the 80's! ha
Still not done with the bird. Added the rest of the cockpit details that came with the Top Flite kit. Throttle lever, mixture, prop, gunsight and combiner glass, and some switch decals. Also changed out the access hatch hold down from a 4-40 bolt to a magnet.
