Flew the Eclipse today....finally! (61 sized)
 

I got my eclipse back in the air today for the first time! :D I got the plane from a friend of mine for a song.......no literally a song......he made me tap dance in the street for it....but that's a different story. Anyway, it has an OS61RX on it with a matching OS pipe and it was a bear to get running. Thanks to a friend of mine (Charles the Fly-n-Razorback) he helped me get it going. I was so anxious to get it flying I didn't notice the high end needle was all the way in and the motor was just running on the prime. Charles quickly helped me get the needles sorted out and I got it airborne promptly. Wow. Quick. Hot landing. No problem, although I would like to slow it down a bit with a different prop (running a 12.5X11 APC now).
I was a little sluggish on the controls at first, but the slow rolls are coming back....slowly[:o] But oh well, at least I have something to fly! Thanks again to Charles, all went well!

It was nothing, always like to help, one of the funnest part of this hobby. Maybe dial in about 10-15% spoilers to kill some lift to slow that baby down. Also a 12x10 will slow it down a bit and bring the rpms up.
