Default RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Hello and thanks for the nice comments, The engine is off of a 21cc featherlite weed wacker, probably made by Poulan. I made quite a few modifications. Last run on the bench it was turning an APC 16x8 at 6200 revs. I will try flying first with a 15x8 and 15x6 first though. Probably won't get the performance of glow but fun to play with. The plane stays clean with 50:1 - gasil mix and fuel is only arond $2.50 a gallon. The engine runs about 3 minutes on an ounce of fuel. Four ounce fuel tank will give a 10 minute flight. I'll get some flight reports to you all in 2 weeks weather permitting. Joe Butch


I CUT the throttle, I think it hit the ground before the signal got there!!!!!!!!!!
