Very cool [8D] I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again, I'm actually considering a road trip to that area for a contest some time next year before the Nats. When I see the schedule, we'll pick one and roll.

This plane is definitely different enough that it has my curiousity peaked. This one and the Integral. This is just the geek in me trying to absorb all of the info I can and then weight it, analyze it, apply it, test it, etc. I've become a monster that way......

Yeah the YS is ridiculous. Funny thing is that now it has turned cold, the few times I've been to the field I'm doing long vertical elements at half throttle and the majority of the flight at about 1/3. Honestly I can't even see the need for a 170 if it's more powerful, I never even get close to full throttle on this thing except sometimes over the top of a humpty just to carve the radius. Of course I'm sure we'll just design bigger planes...........*ahem*

It's good to see you posting here! Sorry to hear about the rough time you had though....hopefully it's all sunny skies from here.
