Hello Everyone,
Its been awhile since I posted here. Finished up my DO and finally flew the plane. Finished mine with a ST G-90 and starting out with a 15*4W prop, this prop might be a bit much for the engine as the spool up time seemed a bit slow. This plane flys very easy and though I been flying for 12 years I have never been into 3d. Right off in a 15 to 20 mph wind I was able to hold a hover fairly easy, I can see that this plane is going to be a joy to fly. Im gonna have to read up on some 3d moves and learn how to pull them off. I did have a dead stick, not sure if the engine is getting enough cooling air thru the cowl, planning to cut out more of the glass before I try it again. The G-90 seem to be plenty of power however the plane would not leap out of a hover but would pull out fine. A .46 in my opinion would be a total joke on this plane, you might fly circles and make a loop but that would be it.
Later,
Brad
