RE: super skybolt engine size
BTW, mine is sweet..... VERY sweet, and getting sweeter. I've yet to have her do anything other than follow my sticks exactly.
Will do snaps every direction like a whipcrack but is steady as a rock when you want. Jeez what a fun airplane. I was going to get a 60 or 90 size Ultimate, but decided I already got an Ultimate. Am I glad I got this Skybolt.
BTW, the OS61 is getting stronger and stronger. And the 13x6 still seems right for her.
Only problem is last time I flew her, our field maintenance got her. The field was recently plugged and after two flights, the underside of the stab was chopped up in two places. Fixing that checkerboard can be a pain. So after fixing those holes, I'll have to go to my "other" club to fly her until the plugs get gone. Of course, that ain't too bad a deal. I got a P40 with retracts that I have to fly at the other field, so I got two reasons to drive to the other field. Flew that P40 today. Dang they look nice doing knife edge passes. Sun going down behind my back..... clear blue sky getting darker blue..... BIG TEETH and growling engine and wings cocked up to get the last sunlight.....
Jeez, this stuff is fun....................
