Default First look. DPM Ultimate 40.

Unfortunately I spent my kitchen pass for the weekend flying one of my other planes. The wife only gives out one per weekend. The rest of the weekend is for honey-do's and family stuff(mostly honey-do's). But I did get to run the engine in the backyard. The wife thought I was mowing the lawn.

I did learn something. If anything is loose, the fourstroker will shake it off the plane. While running the engine, the muffler fell off, the cabane strut screws I put loosely into the struts disappeared, and the throttle servo fast connect came loose. Oh, and it helps if you get the pressure and fuel lines straight. Engines don't run long off the pressure line.

But next weekend is it! She will fly or else.
