After having the needle valve bracket break and the needle valve get sucked into the prop Sunday, I took the needle valve bracket and valve off a Tower .61 I have in my Extra 300 and put it in the Bobcat. However, I didn't, but should have, taken dragonpilots advice and used a piece of carbon fiber or flat bar instead of the bracket. Did the same damn thing happen yesterday and another needle valve get sucked into the prop?.....yeah....Do I feel like a dumbass for letting that happen again?.....yeah

I bought a Magnum .91 and mounted it. Waiting for 14x7 three blade props on order. Instead of cutting the blades down tho for ground clearance, I think I'm going to make some taller gear. I've already made new gear with 5/32 wire purchased at LHS, so I know this will be easy to do. I fly off a nice smooth black top, so I don't think the taller gear will be an issue.
