er............Waldo.................if you keep dipping into your well (read hanger) at this rate.............won't the well run dry? And...........how do you find the time to build anything during these busy summer months which find you serenading graying rockers? [sm=wink_smile.gif] These are just two of the questions T _ _ _ T-forum readers need answered. [sm=lol.gif] Man I enjoyed those video clips! Keep 'em coming.
To all of you other out there experiencing engine problems..........return a few pop cans, raid the ol lady's purse, cash in a T-bill..............whatever............just splurge on a OS .61FX engine and you'll sleep better at night recalling the previous day's flying which was filled with mind-blowing 3D without a thought of needle adjustments, lack of power, running hot, fried glowplugs, or what have you! There, I got that off my chest. [:@] I've been that route and there's alot to be said for having power at your fingertips! (No offense to you folks that fly the T _ _ _ T with anything less under the hood.)[sm=punching.gif]
Adam...........how's the fishing? The record flight of the Hyrundo is almost 40 minutes. I believe it was set the last day I ever flew with Jack211, with the plane you have. We had those gliders so high that sometimes they would hide amongst the clouds. That was one heck of a day! I hope you enjoy it.

Well that got me to thinking....usually not a good thing. So today I loaded up my T---T with fuel, set the timer on my Spektrum DX7 Tx and took off with the intent of seeing how long I could fly her from wheels up to wheels down(retractable landing gear not included). My strategy was to keep the Saitos engine speed just high enough to do slow climbing large circles(couple hundred yards in diameter). I have no glider experience so this may not be the best strategy but I did manage to keep her airborne for 39 minutes w/Saito 72 according to the Spektrum DX7. I would have tried for better times but, frankly, was bored out of my skull after the 39 minute flight. I promptly refueled and did my best to tear off the wing on the subsequent flight(T---T remained intact). I would recommend this to anyone who wants to go slowly insane....that is what I get for reading this thread and thinking....never again. I mean pretty soon you start talking about about making the T---T into a bipe....oh wait a minute....
