Default RE: modeltech maiden flight

Just returned from flight No. 5: no any problem today!!!

The flight was not so long, because I have some trouble with engine-propeller combo. My engine is a magnum 4s 1.20, with about 1 and half hours of running in. With a MA 16x8 k I can obtain only about 8900 rpm. I red that similar engines should take about 9500 rpm. I will try next time with a 15x6.

I also solved a problem with cjm variable retract valve. I used the stock ones with 4 wheel collars to reduce the speed of the gear. the picture below shows how.



these are the preview picture of one of my current proyect: a Kyosho corsair with some scale details. I started from the "office"
