Marco,

You're really great help making up my mind about the Waco, thank you so much.

This Saturday my XTRA-2000 (2 x 2 mtr F3A plane) successfully had it’s maiden flight. 2 Beeps (clicks) of aileron trim and 4 beeps for the elevator was, sufficient to keep the plane in straight and level flight. After running about 15 tanks of fuel I’ll lean the mixture a bit, by then the OS 160FX has had it’s most important period of breaking in, after that, the real trimming of motor side- and down trust, wing and stab angle has to start. For all planes, but especially for a F3A plane, it’s well worth the time and effort.

Almost ready to start the Waco project, I bought a new workbench to accept larger planes. I installed 4 wheels to freely move the bench around, accessing both sides off the Waco will be easy now.

Keep up the good work, and thanks for the clear explanation regarding Reynolds an his number! The last time I had to deal with it, was at school, calculating valve openings for fluid streams. Too long ago now…




Grtz,
