Default RE: C-130 updates

Hello Gunny,, Yup,, I'm caught, that was me, Herk and the ACE Micropro 8000 in Model Aviation. There was a complete article in Model Aviation about a year before with all the specs. It was posted in our AMA flying district in Model Aviation.

Just an update on the Herk. After much discussion and publication on the incident. I have reset the horizontal stabalizer on my Herk. I now have the horizontal stab at Zero and the wing at 1. This is what I had recommended after flying mine and recommended to others who have flown successfully. So now back to the Test Flights. I have been invited to a Scale Fly In in Mobile next month and will not take the Herk if it doesn't have test flights and retrim. The saito's have been flawless after finding out I have a gallon of off quality fuel. I run only cool power 15% now and the engines all turn within 200 rpm of the average rpm. Typically on a 10x6 Master Airscrew 2 blade prop they turn 10,000 average. The plane is very reliable and hopefully this stab/ trim change will improve it even more. Happy Flying.. Jim
