Default Almost ready to fly....... Ummm again

Whirley,

I am running an 11X6 on the OS46.


I was able to get in 3 flights today but the wind started getting up around 15mph and my engine wasnt running worth a crap (2 dead sticks ) but all in all a fairly good re-debut for the SS40.

The new one I built for my father-in-law must have had a weak tail fin as it broke off on taxi :stupid: . Better then than in flight eh?

Well a quick repair of it tonight and it will go up tommorow afternoon.

.BenWillis,
Well,
Sorry to hear that you had some bad luck.
The 11X6 prop should do good on the OS 46 engine.
We had wind here all day.
Didn't even pay to think of flying..
Don't call yourself stupid.
Find out what happened.
On another post someone was biulding a plane and said that he glued the fin but it was still loose.
Someone told him to beef it up another way but I asked to move the fin and see if he can see if the glue did not take hold or was the tail section flexing
Info like that is what I like to see but I never received a response.
Well,
I'm on my way to building up the 1/3 scale PITTS starting in about three weeks.
Just have to find out what the best servos are.
BTW,
Ever find out why the engine decided to dead stick on the to flights?
Sometimes it pays to keep em in range huh??
