Default RE: Another maiden!!

OK guys I need a bit of help. Nothing major.

I have a few issues I am working out:

First, I need full right rudder to keep a stable hover, so I added 2 washers and gave it about 2 1/2 deg. RT. (I wonder if this is too much).

I have blown two hinges on the rudder, I replaced the first with nylon and it blew today. I am going to need to re-hinge the entire rudder with Robart or pinned hinges next week. (I intend to fly it with one blown hinge and reduce my rudder throw....and keep from hovering etc).

Third, I forgot to attach tubing to the CC vent and now I have a very slick plane. fixed that

Fourth, I only used locktite on one side of the muffler, the other came loose....fixed that.

Now finally I can say without a doubt that um....POWER GOOD......ME LIKE!!

UNfrigginLIMITED vertical from a 4 foot takeoff....and I still haven't leaned it out yet...on the low-end.

9 flights and counting....I LOVE this plane...
