MIXMASTER Actually the 100 & 80 are almost the same weight. Massive trim is not exactly accurate. I use a JR radio with digital trims. Trimed for level flight the counterbalance (frontpart) of elevator is down about 1/16". As far as props go. I get a max rmp of 9500 and I richen it to around 9200, it seemed with a 14 x 6 that I couldn't get more than 8700 rpms. The engine is anything but new.

raideron Three months doesn't sound that bad for going 1/2 way around the world. Knock on wood, I have been real fortunate and not had any problems. I prefer UPS over USPS.

Barry Cazier what did you do? Read a dictionary before that last post. Never heard anyone use so many descriptive words. Ha!Ha! I get the idea. Thanks!
