Default Cedar Hobbies Phoenix Test Flight

Cedar Hobbies Phoenix with 2 OS .65LA engines, 12-6 APC props.

Good flying twin. Nice straight take off. Very stable. Excellent handling. No bad habits. Good landing.

Only 1 flight as the connector to the throttle arm came off when I reduced to idle as I turned final. The carb rolled shut, killing the engine. I did not realize the engine had died until I saw it just before I touched down.

The LA .65s are good power. They ran well in flight until the connector came off. A pair of .91s would be better, but Flaps has my Saito .91s in a scale plane.

Next weekend I'll wring it out.
