Default RE: Ideas for a new project

Hey John! I didn't get to speak to you, but I saw you fondling that Hanno! Did you buy it? He told me $125 including the pipe. That's a decent deal. I bet you talked him down.[8D]

I saw a few things I wanted and ended up getting this NIB Kraft for $50. I wish it had the Kraft carb, but I love Perry carbs, too. I think it has the .270" throat barrel; I have a .312" barrel that I might swap with it after breaking it in. Interesting break-in procedure: run at 14,500 - 14,800 with a 10x6. This is along the same lines as what the Jett site recommends, i.e., a smaller prop running rich at the target rpm.

I don't know if Kraft ever used one of these in a Dragon Fli (when did the Kraft .61 come out?), but it would still be a cool engine for this plane. At any rate, I have an incentive to get the drawings and cut file finished.
