Default RE: Let's bash another Somethin' Extra!

Update: I replaced the motor mount with a Dubro anti-vibration mount and went out for a few flights today. The Dubro mount worked great... Engine still set on the rich side but seemed to perform well. I discovered that I'm not getting full throttle due to too short of a servo arm so I'll be replacing that PDQ. Still haven't tested the Side Force Generators... mainly because I want to make sure everything else is dialed in to the "T". That being said... I'm going to replace the throttle servo arm... also need to re-adjust the CG due to the slightly heavier motor mounts and I'm going to do a bit more tuning on this new Saito engine. I'm planning on a full test with the SFG's on the next trip to the field.

On a sadder note Loganjoel's SE bit the dirt pretty hard today. As it was discovered after all was said and done... his switch harness had a shorted connection in it which resulted in ZERO control of the plane from about 150-200 feet up. It is not repairable. [:'(]
I will say this... up until the point where he lost control... that was one fine flying SSE. Loganjoel did test the SFG's last week and they seemed to work very nicely too. RIP the "SuperMan" SSE. Please join me in a moment of silence.

Now! let's move on... Suck it up and put that OS70 on that Ultimate Bipe that's collecting dust in your Hangar LoganJoel! LOL
