Default RE: Just got the Phoenix Super Decathlon

I was down with a virus the last couple weekends and haven't been able to. I did sneak out past Mrs. Nurse Sunday, staked it down and set fuel curves on the 9Z and tweaked the engine in, in the front yard, until she caught me and marched me back inside and reconnected the IV with the chicken soup vat. Hope the weather cooperates next weekend, then maybe I can get it tested and a report out. I just ordered a new aluminum spinner from Tower for it. The cheap plastic one they provided warped while changing and testing props. Ended up with the APC 15X6, turning about 8,850 and 2300 idle rpms. Cough, cough, still working and trying to get rid of this crud.... hope none of you catch it, hurry go to another post, I may still be contagious.

BTW, I posted several pictures on another Pheonix SD thread, don't remember, but a week or so ago.
