Default RE: RCGF Engines

Well, fu=inally maidened the P-4y/26cc yesterday. Of course, it was a lot colder at the field and a lot of moisture in the air - so the motor that strated on two flips in Lakewood made me work a bit - had to adjust the low end (and probably should have adjusted the high end as well).

Flight went well - IMHO 18x8 is too much prop though - plane was a lot slower than I was expecting. I'm going to try a 16x8 next week, plus tune the top a bit tighter at the field. Pretty much had to fly at full throttle the whole flight - burned through 15 oz or so of fuel - but was paying attention to the plane not my watch, so I can't tell you how long (Gary might know)
