Link, Glad to hear your going for the maiden,, Good luck and have a blast. I believe if you click on Downt's name the Pic on his main page and in his gallery has the ski's on the T_ _ _ T

Venom,, Floats look great,,, Nice job,, Definitely let us know how she workd, I have a set of floats as well laying around, and a boat on a lake, just haven't really been up there this year but twice, and that was to fix the electrical system on the boat for the rest of the family's use. We finally have a weekend off this weekend so maybe I can get there for a little R&R. I think the wife has plans with a pressure washer and our house though...

Bendr, LOL yes I guess you could say that about the pucker factor, But I really thought it was going to climb over it so I didn't really expect to hit anything. I had full right aileron on and full up elevator the plane just wouldn't turn, there was the OS 70 4 stroke on it when that plane needs a minimum .65 2 stroke, I just thought I could glide it around. I don't own the .60 this week so I'm not sure about the problem you may be having, If your fuel runs fine in other motors I would have to say it probably isn't that, and you just need to get her broke in. It sounds like you just have too rich a mixture at the low idle setting and she just flooded herself out.

TimC It wasn't me who said the naughty word,, LOL,, I did however use a naughty word when I was aking my friend if I "messed" up his T_ _ _ T after I had my plane and was walking back.
