CG Ultimate Control Throws
I have had a great time with the plane. The engine is what I am not happy with.
I have had 5 out of 7 deadstick landings. I am chasing fuel gremlins now.
When the engine is running, oooohhhhmmyyyygggaaaawwwddd.
All I can say is yeehaa!
I am running a 16x10 APC prop and it is a great fit for the engine. It will pull verticle at 1/2 stick. Anything bigger will walk on the ground. I can idle the 16' prop without rollout.
My last dead stick was not so gracefull. I cracked both interplane struts, cracked the lower wing D tube and broke my custom battery mount.
No biggie to fix just wish I could figure out the engine stall problem.
I moved the tank farther back to help ground handling. I am going to get a header tank the next time I am at the hobby shop and mount it at carb level in the cowl. I hope this will fix my engine stopping problem.
One last thing.....this plane is fast for a bipe. I LIKE IT!!!!!!!
