Default RE: Just got the Phoenix Super Decathlon

Well; It took 6oz to balance at 90mm behind the leading edge.

Needless to say some movement will happen of some radio gear shortly but this weekend I have to fly it. The weather tomorrow is looking like it will be okay in the morning with rain starting around noon. I plan to be done by then.

I test ran the engine today and had what seemed to be a good idle but I didn't tac it - it wasn't rolling though which is what I shoot for. Seemed reliable which I always worry about with an inverted engine. But...tomorrow if all looks good she flies.
