Default RE: 130 Flaps

Jim, I'm not going lie. I am a little worried about the engines quiting in flight. I've had very good luck with bigger size engines with no flame-outs in flight that I can remember, but I don't know of anyone that has tried the 32s. I guess I will be the guinea pig.

A friend of mine loaned me a Duraplane that I can use to break-in each engine in flight.
I'm also going to cut a plastic coke bottle and shape it as close to a nacelle as possible for a cowl trying to get the same air on the engine as if it were in the Herk. Maybe it will help out.
