sorry didnt mean it to be negative...
blinkin ott ere today...

wnet fying with cougar to check it out before a comp this weekend and had a disastrous pm.

1) Fuel up ready to go and flicked it... ang on the prop driver aint straight.... closer inspection... the crankshaft is bent !
2) Had a customers W36 in the van.... out with mine, in with his (got more stock at home so Ill swap it in time..)
3) pipe back on... nope, thread in the mani stripped... fcuk !
4) grapped a new pipe... fitted...
5) throttle way out... 20% move on bottom 120% on top half of stick. never mind it will do to run in the motor.
6) one flight, tried to practice T&G in a 1metre box.... not very good with this throttle setting... forget it go home..

expensive day !
fingers crossed things go better for the comp or it will have to be the elec cougar instead !

flew my funky chicken though... that was straight forward enough and good fun too...
