Default RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Well, I got home a little late from work but still wanted to run another couple tanks through. I didn't lean it out any more because the sun had just set & I couldn't use my tach. [:@]
I took some video for you guys so you can see it run. I actually read about it being a bad idea to break in the bigger 4 strokes on the plane because it vibrates too much. I kind of like that because it vibrated one of my rudder cables loose tonight & I much prefer finding out about that on the ground versus in the air.

I also measured the ground clearance with the 16x8 prop. With the tailwheel on the ground (first picture) it's about 5" off the ground & with the tailwheel propped up so that it's level I have 4" of clearance.
