Just got home from the field and I'm waiting for the pizza to arrive. Demon #2 got it's maiden today. I flew #1 first to make sure my thumbs were OK. They were. Fired up #2 and it was howling nicely, sounding even better than #1. I put an APC 8-7 on #2 to see what effect it had on the launch. I still don't think the header is short enough yet, but it was close. Upon release, the torque-induced left turn was much more pronounced. Acceleration was unbelievable. Low passes were easily 10 mph faster than #1 with it's 8-8 prop. Several guys said the speed difference was even greater than I thought it was. Regardless, it was very obviously faster than #1. I didn't put a GPS module in #2. I will correct that mistake shortly. #2 has the ringed engine that was in my Proudbird. The completion pics I posted showed it with a Macs muffler. I changed my mind and put a pipe on it later. Sure glad I did. I didn't fly #1 again the rest of the day. #2 got the living hell flown out of it, 6 or 7 flights (I lost count). As long as I give it the attention it deserves, it's a total no-brainer to fly. Point and shoot with no personality. My favorite kind of airplane. Does only what you tell it and does it instantly. After #1, I knew I really liked the Demon. Today, I fell in LOVE with it. For a while, I couldn't go 20 minutes without flying it. I flew the F-82 twice just to break up the Demon flights. It's a fun all it's own, but paled next to the Demon. Thank God tomorrow's a holiday and I can spend another day at the field blasting around like a madman. I got 2 set-in-stone orders for Demon ARF's today. Wanna sell a Demon? Just fly it. The only question at that point was which engine and what colors. Most fun I've had in quite awhile. Thanks, Mike.
