Default RE: Great Planes Combat Corsair and Mustang

well... finally got the maiden launch today.

ran the first tank pretty rich just so i couldnt push it too hard. Second tank was leaned out a fair amount, it had some serious speed at full throttle.
i am running a 10x6 on the 46LA and have enough low end that the launches were nice and smooth. After the 2nd flight there was some obvious stress wear on the control surfaces as well as the vertical stabilizer(which isn't so stable anymore). It will go back on the the work bench for a few mods.

with the 46 and standard tank i lasted just under 3min on the first flight and just over 4min on the second. I might try to retro fit a bigger tank in there for the next flight.

We had some problems with the video so i will bring it up next time and link it.
