FLIGHT REPORT

The OS .61 FX is a freakin' rocket engine on a T___T!!! I can' t wait to see what she will do once its all run in and I can change props. I am getting slightly better fuel economy also than the .46 AX. The 12 X 6 run in prop is a Master Airscrew and it causes the airframe to make a lot of noise. I bet it flexes 3 inches under load. I just need a few more flights to get to optimum and then I'll go back to APC props. Funny, the first time I went to full throttle some of the guys came running over thinking that maybe my muffler came apart. The sudden change in sound startled them! I landed just to show 'em there was nothing wrong. It is really loud and should go a long way toward pissin' off the electric guys! LOL[:'(]

On an unrelated note, I just ordered a 25% Yak from eastrc.org. Gonna run an OS 1.60 FX in her.

f_shawn I dropped the battery in behind the canopy. Switched from a 600 to an 1100 for extra weight (and flight time). Didn't take time to make a hatch, I just peeled back the covering on the bottom and ironed it back. Took five minutes.
