Great info on the radio glitching issue guys. I strongly believe that radio interference caused my trainer to nose in at full throttle last summer. But I cannot put the blame on anyone since I was flying in a very large open field less 1/4 mile from the interstate. I used the kevlar wire when I setup my flying wires on the tail. Not because of any particular reason.

Ron, you should switch to a 15x6 APC prop. It will really help slow your plane, yet provide the additional thrust that you desire for those "oh *****" situations. With the 16x6 APX on my Saito, my Edge would slow to almost a crawl. It lands a lot slower than my H9 Aresti 40.

My O.S. 91FX should be in by the middle of next week. I already have everything I need to get her airborn again, except the engine and a few props. I had to get another engine mount since mine broke on my last flight after it deadsticked on me and nosed in on the hot landing. I also have another cowl on order with VF. I plan on really taking my time on this cowl. It will be a much cleaner install since I will be using a pitts muffler.

I will keep everyone updated on the status of my plane. I have been busy building me a profile SPAD Edge 540 to play around with. I may even model it after my VF Edge 540. The sign distributor where I got the Coroplast from also sells vinyl almost exactly like the stuff our plane is covered with. The best part, it is less than $2.00 for a 36"x30" piece. I am definitely going to get me some more in various colors. Not that I really need more, but you never know when it will come in handy.

Gotta hit the sack. Have to be up at 5:00 am for work. Later guys.
