Default RE: Substitute for Ether

I flew again today on eitherless. It was about 55* F. I had a bad time. It wouln't run nicely and definatly wouldn't run on yesterdays settings. It was just too cold out. I should have quit while I was ahead....... It quit after I made my take off turn when it was headed down wind at about 30'. I should have just landed down wind but I thought I could make the 180* turn. I almost did bud hit one of the steel net flight line stakes and it cut my wing back to the main spar. I can fix it but what a pain.

From now on I'm not bothering messing with Eitherless unless the temprature is over 65*

Next I'm going to run 10% either and see if that will work for the colder tempratures.

I need to build a S.P.A.D. coroplastic airplane if I'm going to be running thease kind of flying expiraments and dead sticking after takeoff Time to work on the balsa and put the fuel expiraments asside.....
