Default Capiche 50

I should be getting drunk with my mates right now, but my mums starting to clamp down on my outings, so here i am on RCU on a friday night!

Yep you guessed it Archie its my first four stroke and i am really liking it so far- apart from the needle valve which is on the same side as the extremely HOT silencer ,mind yer fingers!
As far as weston and their fuel goes, the magnum series of engines are pretty much identical to ASP(who does not reccommend a specific fuel). They clearly just want you to use their fuel. All the magnum engines ive seen running on other non-prosynth fuel have been good runners.

We have been doing a load of work on the linkage setup on the Capiche rudder over the past two days, because i figured if i'm spending loads on a servo i'm getting the linkage quality to match it. Lots of maths involved . Tapping a thread on a length of 4cm piano wire to go through the rudder for horns on either side is very difficult even for a concorde enginneer!
If the finishing of my capiche goes down to the wire, i might have to arrive early and test fly it at knebworth before the comp starts!
