RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
HAHA! I am hogging the thread.
So today was the first flight with the Magnum. I have to admit i was still about 10-15 minutes short of the recomended break in time but i just couldnt see it running without flying it. Well the engine thought better and kept stalling on the runway when i had it at idle. It ran great at full, but just wasnt idling. Possible because i had it running rich. But it ran great with the glow plug ignitor on. So i tried switching glow plugs. Still the same. So I ran her a little bit more on the ground.
Finally i kept the throttle a little higher and had some one hold it and then let it go. What a difference. I am so used to 40 size 4 strokes it felt like I was just gliding it around because there was hardly any noise, and my throttle was at a 1/4. I got to try one hover and I held it for all of about 10 seconds, but felt a lot more comfortable.
Well stupidly i tried to run her around at idle to see how it behaved. STALL. Low and over the runway. No way to get it back. Blew out the Landing gear again. I think i may actually take the chance to lower the tank.
Not much of a flight report. Will give a better one when i get a real flight in. But I can tell i am really going to like it.
