Monday morning report on Matrix.

OK here goes. Can't complain about the flight characteristics. Did put two ounces inside the hatch by elevator crank. One ounce on each side. Very well balanced now.

I used a standard 4.8 battery pack for glow ignitor which was one of the choices that came with it but it instantly burns out the glow plug. Need to go with different battery choice. Any recommendations? New to the glow ignitor business.

If I let the engine warm up on the ground and take off somewhat gently and fly a little bit I then have no problems. If I yank it up at first it tends to power up slowly. I do agree that it appears on the rich side. Since the engine is new I'll give it a chance to work in.

It rolls like it's on a rail. Inverted is smooth, snaps, tumbles, etc., are wild.

Since I'm on grass all the time I'm leaving the wheel pants off for now. Really does a nice drop in landing with just a tad of throttle at the last second. I'm using a 13/4 prop. What do you think I'd gain with a 14/4?

Good flying. Bruce
