RE: Maiden on the 300 Special
This was the second weekend flying my Extra Special. This is one great flying plane. I'm running a Taurus 52 up front and 5945's on everything, except for a 5735 on the rudder pull/pull. The weight came out at 17lbs. 4 oz. and balanced at 3" at the tips without any weight added. I may add a heavy tailwheel to move the CG back a little more but I am VERY happy with this plane.
BTW, the Taurus is swinging a Zinger 22x10 at 6900 rpm. It is very smooth and I've had several people comment on its outstanding power in the air.
I don't think it gets any better than this.
Thanks Tom.
