Brian J. flew it on wednesday. 3 flights...all great including the deadstick where i engaged the choke at about 100 feet downwind, then just screamed and handed the box to brian..like a total wuss.

he liked the zdz setup, and also like the super quiet muffler that i bought from germany. he said he is going to keep his extra and put the zdz on it. it flys "big" as he says. motor a little rich but it has less than 1 gallon thru it.

no damage when it went into the weeds

took off, flew again. no problems

i also have the wings secured with a 4-40 screw into the wing at the end of the wing tube thru a dowel keyed into the rib and on top of the wing tube, then i put a "donut" which was a 1.125 dowel drilled out so it looks like a donut, then glued this inside the wing tube so that the 4-40 screw would have something to bite into after it went thru the dowel, the phenolic wing tube, the metal wing tube and then the inner dowel hollowed out like a donut.

i am going to relocate the position of my choke switch on my transmitter, it was the tallest switch so i hit it by accident but im sure it could happen again!!!

we'll have to have a fly off.

cheers
