RE: THOR 45 CDI at Hobby People Comments

Thanks for the offer Alan,

I think the Zenoa will be heavier than the Thor and I am already overweight and nose heavy.

Thanks anyway.

RE: THOR 45 CDI at Hobby People Comments

Looking at my Pitts now I see your point - its got a very high AofA on the ground with a long, unforgiving under carriage. Not the best model to 'go petrol' with. I'll see how it shapes up...

The retailer, who seemed very knowledgeable, recommended it. Certainly it helps with the throttle run.

I too hope that the "pulse hole lines up" ....err, what are those!

That sounds a good setup.

It'll be interesting to see how our installations perform.

RE: Flair/Jamara Leo Build...

Fellow Leo flyers: what is your COG set at?

Mine is set to 170mm. Any further back and it gets twitchy. Any further forward and inverted requires a lot of down elevator and it pulls out of a...

My Leo is coming along, thanks for the tips in this thread.

RE: KMP Hurricane in detail

They fly really well but landings are hard work!

For me it goes in threes: one good landing (stays on wheeels) one bad (nose over) and one ugly (hard nose over and slight crack).
