Default RE: P61 questions

I seemed to have not posted the response to a couple other post.

Aerowoof, I played with a gyro on my first tail dragger. It really helped keeping it pointed straight down the runway on take off. It did effect the turns though as I don't use rudder in turns. I may have to learn to do that
I'll look into the Twin sync, It sounds like a good idea

FallDown, I've been flying a 70 for a couple years. It was an absolute nightmare to get running, until I read the manual and started over. The carb is different than most as the mix needle screws out to a stop vs screwing in. Once I read the manual, and set things to it's start point, the engine fell right into place and has been rock solid since. I crank a 13x4W prop with it and it pulls like a tractor. Mine only took about three tanks before it was in the grove. My Mag 52 though was a royal pain.

I peaked a bit deeper into the box today. Boy are the engine booms light weight stuff. I' suspect this will be a crash once plane, although the wings look well constructed. Time will tell.
