Hi All and Happy Holidays!!
Well Thought I'd bring the thread back to the front page:-))
Finally cleaned up, oiled and readjusted the S-100.. All looks and feels great:-)
Well except the dent on the intake pipe but I can live with that until the shipment
comes in... I sort of needed it for the replacement :-)
Well I picked up the new "Do" as stated in my previous post.. I think we all have
seen it in this thread about a trade.... So the new "Do" for under $100:-)) He is a
great "friend" to deal with!! But... That darn word... Shipping... #@'* ... The box
look in really great shape, "But" there was a small hole on the bottom... And
wouldn't you know it's where the leading edge of the wing sits... So there's a small
hole inbetween the ribs on the sheeting.. Quick repair.. But on hold, as he is checking
on the insurance and a replacement wing.... Sad... But it's still a "YEEP-PEE!!!!"
Ohh.... :-)..... My Kantana V2 46 is on the way........ Merry Xmas:-)
Rob.. Your right on the rib spread and it is the reason for the "Do" harmonics :-) I had
a first hand look see when removing equipment from my.... I can't say it... Poo Hoo..
crank... IMO.... Stick the S-100 on it!! You will love it!!! The cowl will fit... Just leave the
cowl mounting blocks off and screw the cowl into the firewall/fuse area!!... I'm using
the bigger mount and it'll fit... Forget about the soft mount, it does very little to the
" wing harmonics" But it does help some, but looking at more weight... With the S-100
compared to the YS 63 with soft mount, I would have to say the "Do" flew the same in
most areas...and in the others, you just have to learn to deal with "All that extra POWER"
And let me "Emphasize extra POWER"... Also I get the same, if not longer flt. times on
the S-100....
And just a little about the new "Do" and Great Planes.... My "Do" was in perfect shape I'm
sure there will be some adjustments as pretty much all ARF's... But if shipping did not do
there normal thing, I could not be happier... Well... I could... But that won't never happen
