Default RE: Capiche 140

Was watching Luke fly today - he is getting very good Did a loverly inverted elevator to harrier, about 10 feet up, then flipped it over and started rolling harrier circuits. Nearly lost it a couple of times though [X(].

I have been re-reading all the bumf on the web about tuning YS engines, set mine back to factory settings, and started again. The YS 120 is now purring like it should . I need to try that 17x8n on my 120, I think it would be the purfect prop for the 120.

Had three good flights. Harriers are now a bit more stable, I think the weight savings helped. Will get a new lightweight cowl and the weston pipe sometime in the next couple of months, that should take a few more grams off. Just waiting for the 140FZ at the moment. Any news Archie?

Off to Montreal tomorrow for a week - business not pleasure, going to a conference.
