Default RE: Picture

Here is a picture of my beauty.......






I extended the landing gear making it 2" taller and moving it 1" forward. Also, check out my custom cowl. This plane is great!
To compare thrust measurements… I have a ¼ scale Spacewalker that weighs 10pounds 1oz on a commercial scale. With a O.S. 91fx (15% cool power) turning a APC 15 x 6 at (10,600 max) 10,300 it can hold a hover but can only very very slowly pull out vertical. I then switched to an Ultrathrust muffler with 15 x 6 APC and it went to (11,700 max) 11,200 flying (I do a lot of verticals and hovering, so I like to keep things rich) and now the plane pulls out of a hover very nicely.
