Isee your dog is like mine; the noise doesn't bother him.</p>

Be careful with those full throttle runs on the ground, especially with a cowled engine. It can overheat. The engine is under less load and has more cooling air when it is flying.</p>

Nice airplane! I've always liked those.</p>

How did you get the video right on your post?</p>

Good luck on the maiden,</p>

My poor old dog has just gotten to old to care! She don't get to excited about anything anymore and she found my Ryobi project no exception. A trip to the post office in the truckis about the highlight of her day.

You are right about those full throttle runs, and I need to drop by Harbor Freight one day and pick me up a point and shoot temp gauge. However I like to share the noise with the neighbor whose dogs keep me awake at night!lol

Thanks for the compliment on the airplane. A snow birdfriend of mine gave it to me after he crashed it in Florida over the winter. He knocked the nose clean off of it, so it made the perfect candidate for a Ryobi since I could set the firewall wherever I wanted to help with the Ryobi weight. I set the firewall back 2 1/4" from its stock local when I rebuilt it. I actually maidened the airplane for the previous owner when it had a little XYZ 26cc engine on it. So I am kinda anxious to see how it compares with the engine that was in it previously. My buddy had a new in box Rascal 110 waiting for him here in Illinois when he came back this spring. He will be bringing it out to fly tommorrowas well. So should be fun to compare the two.

RCU has a new post editor. Perhaps you just hadn't noticed it since they just came out with it. I just hit the little youtube sign and then add my links between the youtube quotes.
