Default RE: Fast enuff?

OK, been awhile since I posted on this. The bird is complete. After much testing and fiddling, I settled on a "jumper tank" type fuel system- an 11oz ducted fan tank right above the wing, laying flat instead of vertical; and a 1.5oz bullet tank up behind the firewall beside the nosegear. Nothing else would work. I couldn't make the Cline system function correctly on a Tower engine, and the 14 oz bubble jett tank can't be got low enough to prevent severe siphoning in a level attitude. (I couldn't set the idle with it.) With the 12.5 oz system, I set the needles for 12 minutes of running, mostly full throttle, and I still have about 1/3 of it left after that time limit.

The T-75 is all broken in. She'll turn an 11x8 Master Airscrew Scimitar at 14,000 on the ground. That should work fine upstairs.

Discovered a bit of washin on the left, outer wing panel. So, even tho she looks like I cracked up on the maiden, it's just a bit of slice, patch, stick back on.

Wing loading wet is about 35 oz per square foot. I'm gonna go join the Midland, Mich RC club and the first flights will be from that 600' paved runway.
