How was your flight Mark?
After 4 attempts to start 3w, (by attempts, I mean 4x 90 mi.round trip to field, assembly and disassembly and very sore shoulder) I am having the engine serviced. I'm
usually good at trouble shooting but this ones got me stumped.
Nice flight with the scale prop!

hannes83 Great Job. Nice to know you know the guy that has a replica of the ACE C310! I actually fly the full scale of that . Small world . Here are a few picture of me with it. I know it is not Gee Bee related!!! Again Great job on the build and flights. I am not sure why I still have yet to get my Gee Bee ...

My father had a 320(turbo-charged version) when I was a teenager in the 70's. Inspired me to get my license. (I used to own a little Grumman Yankee).

IT FLIES!! And down in one piece. Solid landing. I cant post videos so if someone will send me their e-mail, I'll forward. It will post to youtube. Take-off was beautiful. Flight was a hand-full but I'll get it down pat.
Maidened on a dry lake bed and gyro was perfect. NO TRIM NEEDED!! I'm excited about flying again.
