This was an interesting weekend of flying. After three deadstick landings with my os61 I decided to put a 91 Saito with a 13X8 3-blade in my Lancair. It flys wonderful and of course the the four stroke sound is very cool. Just as I was ending my third flight a friend shows up with his Lancair (powered by a os61fx). He waxed me. His Lancair air flys more like a jet than a prop. I was amazed at how much faster his plane was than mine. When I asked him how he glassed his wings, surprisingly he said:
"I assembled the wing according to the instructions, no glass just lots of epoxy!" Wow, I was impressed with how much stress he has put on those wings, yet it is flying great.
