Welcome back Baron ! Nice Hols ?

Flew my 140 with new 140FZII in y'day........ MUCH better so far as I could tell - blowing about a force 4-5.

Landing was funny, I repositioned up the runway 3 times to do a parachute landing... it kept going backwards past the start of the strip !

In the end it came down moving backwards until the last ten feet when it held station and with the last blip of power rolled forward about 12 inches ! Who needs a helicopter or a fun fly to do spot landing comps !? Just spot land a C140 !

Friggin Hattori Scale manifold is doing me head in though - waiting on a Weston proflex header to try...... gotta stop things snapping... if they are any good we'll stock em !

Will report back...

OH, PS - flew it on 17x8N for now til it runs in... Good results. Wants more pitch I think for F3a type work but good for 3D/Artistic. Will move on to standard 17x8 blade after a gallon or so of fuel. Also a new batch of props turned upthis week so Im gonna try the 18x6W blade on it in due course - will let you know... probably turn it into a helicopter juding by the size of the blade !!!
