[QUOTE=1967brutus;12804397

I would like to know: How do you guys fare? Those of you that have one or more converted engines, what are your field-experiences?[/QUOTE]

Since every one is "spilling the beans" on their recent "slow flying" I will too... My new work position is very time consuming and really bites into my free time... But after some reflection during a recent 2 week Holiday I have given the higher powers a "departure date". Its a year away but the light is at the end of the tunnel... Too young to retire completely but will really scale back the work commitment and regain my free time..

I have got a modest amount of flying in and last weekend I proved to myself that I can still initiate a good old " Dirt Nap" on an unsuspecting airframe... I had a Glow 4 stroke "Sport Mustang" that flamed out shortly after takeoff and I proceeded to prove out that the "impossible turn" is still impossible - especially in a wind..

BUT... on a positive note and in repose to the question posed - I have had both the Boxer and the 40 two stroke conversion out this year and both flew with our fuss or adjustment.. - All this with the same "lack of attention" you noted Bert.

Here is hoping we all get back to the flying and "engine fiddling" we so deserve!!!!
