Wed Morning,
Gents, (and ladies),
Today is filled with other obligations. The Wx is scheduled to go south later. But, time and Wx permitting, later this evening I plan to go to a large rural school that has huge amounts of paved parking. Whatever shall I do there, all by myself????
Taxi, taxi,taxi..... Ground handling, throttle mgmt, taxi, taxi, and more. Trimming as necessary and other stuff.
Dense fog here in Ouisconsin now. So, why not pretend this is in the RC Car section, keep it on the ground, and work with that!
At least I get to smell some nitro!
Hm, what happened the last time I went out for taxi runs
, oh yeah...I ended up with a busted 46 engine
. My own stupidity for trying to do taxi runs (testing that everything sits secure etc) in 45 degrees celcius. Well, the engine overheated and yeah you guess the rest - need to replace the piston and sleeve. It's still waiting on the cupboard and it's still going to wait a long time hehe.
But yeah Kennel, people can say what they want, taxi run practise does help when it comes to take off. I ran off the runway 3 times before I got my plane in the air when I started
