Default RE: What's gonna be your Fall project?

My Extra was finished a couple of weeks ago. I took it out and flew it for it's maiden flight on a Sunday afternoon. Very nice plane but I wasn't too inpressed with the engine. couldn't get more then 1/3 throttle out of it and it wasn't transitioning well. Second flight it deadsticked but luckily I got it onto the ground with no damage to the plane other then a broken prop. The engine hasn't run since. I think it is a fuel draw problem. Whatever the case I am not a happy camper. I really have too many irons in the fire right now to mess with the thing so it's kinda on hold. Also in the pattern is a Waco .30 with a OS Wankel engine and a GSP 72" Katana and also the 80" model of the same plane. I guess you could say I am a glutton for punishment. If I didn't have to work for a living I could probably get all these things built!
