Default RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!

Hey Rick!
I can't believe someone would take off and leave a T-34 behind! Any flying lately? I'm researching a big Stearman right now. I'm not going to do any fancy motors or anything, just that it'll be gas for a smoke system. Any progress toward flight on your Ultimate?

Jim,
Like Rick said you can't tell the difference in flight. The fuse can build up pressure though and it can cause canopy's and hatches to blow off if there not secured properly. The PH-3 F-16 calls for a small opening in front of the canopy to allow for cooling the batt but I cose to keep it closed for scale looks. My 2200's get pretty darn hot if it's 70 degrees out and I fly 6 minutes. If it's 80 or more degrees I fly conservatively for 4-5 minutes. Helis don't have this problem because everything is hanging out there in the breeze.

Blessings,

Jay
