I found out yesterday that I dont have to work the weekend of an upcoming IMAC contest. I made the decision to enter which means a practice schedule. The contest is the weekend of the 18th so I have decided I need to practice 3 days this week and 4 days next week. I have just been sport flying my airplane for a little over a year now and thought my setup was good. I was quite wrong. At the end of todays practice session the things that got changed were control throws, expo settings, throttle curve and mixture adjustments. Flying the sequen e also showed that the airplane could use a slight CG shift forward. Im currently having a new spinner backplate made from .250 6061 that should cure the CG.The end result os that the airplane is much easier to fly through the.sequence and makes.my goof off flying look even better.
