Hi guys, First flight was UGLY. GMS 120 with the 14x7 three blade is not enough, needs more blade to start with. RPM'S in the air were verry high but no push. Take off took for ever and then shot straight up , landing after cutting power went straight down. I found out on second flight both problems were better wih at least half flaps. For you guy's with JR radios down load BVM data safe program for BOB CAT it will give you basic set up and crow. Next step will be to replace GMS 120 with OS 160, Already ordered pusher pipe from WESTON UK.
Hello Jim, do you need that special pusher pipe that you mentioned or can you just run it with the conventional silencer, I'm not looking to set any speed records or anything like that... Another Question Bud, when you order that OS 160 do they have a different model for the rotation or do you just flip the prop???
Thank You Jim,
Mojo
Hello Jim!!! What prop will you run on the 1.60 engine? Will you go with another 3-Bladed prop?
Thanks Mojo
