The Oregon weather decided to foil my plans, once again... It's probably for the best since I discovered an issue with the rear throttle control while I was doing one more final pre-flight check. Apparently when you "null" the slave channel in the P-Mix of the 7CAP, it changes the throws of that servo. It was weird, but eventually I got it figured out.

One major flaw in the design that I'm finding is that taking of the wing is a huge, time consuming chore. Oh sure, it bolts on easily enough, but you have to take off the rear cowl in order to get the wing off at all since the air scoop covers the bolts and is in the way of lifting the trailing edge up. So, you have to take off the rear spinner, prop, needle-valve extention, and cowl. Then, you have to unscrew the struts. THEN, you can take off the wing, and you have to unplug the wires to the six servos.

My suggestion to the manufacturer, regarding that issue only, (there are many, many other suggestions I would make!!) would be to have a wing bolt plate in the front and rear of the wing saddle and get rid of the leading edge dowels. Then, you can just make two holes in the rear cowl to unscrew the rear bolts. You would only have to remove the windshield from the front and you're done.

I'll post when I get home from the flying field tomorrow, assuming the weatherman was right when he said it would be decent outside tomorrow...

So, Spydermonkey, did you end up getting to "maiden" your 337 or did the engine issue keep you grounded?
