Hi You all:

Finally got around to having the second flight on my Kyosho F-86 made this afternoon. Density altitude was as close to sea level as you can get in West Texas this afternoon.

Fueled the little bugger up with racing fuel (65%) and Summitt120 took over the tx. The little airplane STILL waddled into the air. Oh, BTW, the CG on my F-86 is at 165mm based on what I read in the Flying Models article a few months ago. I also had a friend of mine bend the LG out (like at Superman 2001).

Mike did a great job of keeping it from stalling out and managed to land it further down the runway. The model never got above eight feet in altitude this afternoon.

I've done all that I can to improve flight performance while keeping as close to base stock as possible. If I keep this model, the next thing to do to it will be to cut those cheater holes in the wings on either side of the Ail. servo. If that doesn't work, then the pull-starter has to come off and I figure out some sorta of starter wand that can be stuck up the snout without snagging on the wires and tubes inside.
