On an actual note related to flying. I just fitted the CDI system to my 1.70 in my V3. The wind is blowing like crazy for the next few hours, but it supposed to calm down this evening. I don't even want to carry the plane outside to run it with the wind blowing how it is. If it drops down this evening, I hope to get a flight on it. I fitted an 18.1 X 12 prop as I dont have the 18X11WPN or the 19X11 yet to try. I took off the velocity stack and removed my header tank. Neither are things that I should need with the CDI as it should take care of the things those cleaned up. The plane picked up about 4.5oz over the weight previously, but I plan to offset some of that by changing batteries ( I have 2 2600mah li-ion's now, going to go to 1000mah lipos). Also removing the header tank saves some weight, but more importantly gave me a place to mount the ignition module. Took about an hour to do the conversion, including pulling the engine, drilling a hole in the firewall and remounting it. After talking to Ryan Smith about the fuel savings and low end torqure his is producing. I'm very anxious to fly it. I do not have the low oil fuel, so I will be running stock Cool Power 30% Heli in mine.

Will report back after some flights,
