I appreciate the offer Ken, I wouldn't want you to have to drive this far just to maiden a plane for me, or me drive that far either.
I think I can handle it, its just that when it comes to mechanical things that cost me money I'm a real pessimist. If it does fly like a low wing sport plane then I should be fine. I'm in no hurry as I do have to get the cg fixed and do some actual runtime of the engine on the plane.
It's not that far to drive, and I definitely don't mind!!!! I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want to do the drive!!!! [img][/img]
The offer is there if you need it, just let me know
Ken
I may take you up on it Ken, we'll see how things go.
A couple questions though: She (OS70 FS 1) is turning 10K easily with the 12x6 3 blade and seems rich. Do I need more prop?
I can't seem to get her to idle nice and low, it is cold and really misty so the weather isn't ideal. Could that be it? It idled well on the test stand.
glad to see its in one piece again, how did the covering repairs turn out?
i think ken is looking for a excuse to tell the boss (wife) that he needs to take a day off, while hes in ok city he will buy a few planes to save on "gas money"
heck might as well take up the offer, to get ken out of the house and at the field (and hobby shop), and if he smashes your plane you can tease him on the forums
.
if i was you i wouldnt fly the plane if you arnt comfortable with the engine, if it will hold a high idle i wouldnt worry about it (can always kill the engine on landing), but if it wont idle at all dont take the chance.
