Hopefully today’s wind back in Qld is a step closer to flying for you guys up there. Have to settle for annoying the neighbours with running-in down here in Vic. 😁

Wow - 32:1 on break in? Will definitely be lubing thoroughly and watching closely if I do that!

Hi guys, thanks for the input re weight. I'm pretty conscious of keeping all my installation well forward (except those elevator servos!) - plus it has a Saito FG60R3 with Keleo exhaust ready to drop...

Elevator flutter

For anyone interested/concerned about elevator flutter on this plane, I believe I've come across a major contributing factor.

I've stripped the covering off mine and removed all the hinge points...

RE: BIRD OF TIME - POWER CONVERSION

Pretty sure there's a law against doing that to a BoT wing...;)

RE: PCM 9XII (9303?) Screen Problem

Can't see any contrast adjustment facility on this radio - but yeah, that's sort of the effect. When I switch it on, it looks fine for around 0.5s and then darkens, so screen figures barely visible...

Basically, by "bagged" I mean foam cores with composite (fibreglass/carbon/kevlar or combos) skins applied with resin under vacuum in a vac bag. This produces very light...

RE: Recommend my first DLG

Alot of the hollow wing DLG's can be fragile according to some owners - have you looked at the bagged foam models?

Hey, that's the ARC version I want - not fair!:(
