pretty cool, what motor/muffler are you using, and any cooling issues with extended hovering?

I'm using the new 3W 80 single with canister. It seems to stay cool, no power loss and i've landed right after a hover and temp gunned the engine and the hotest point was 170 but most of the engine was about 155 or so. I have about 5 gallons of fuel thru this engine, and i'm really impressed with this 3W. it has the power. I just put my CF 27x10 on it and it was taching 5400 on the ground(And VERY rich), pulls it nicely and isn't noisy.

Thanks Texx.. I'll try to get some TR video some day when there isn't so much wind. I'm not very good with TR's in the wind.

Rad,
What is the dry weight? Did you use the stock hardware? I'm planning on buying one at Joe Nall if AM has them in stock in time to bring them. Awsome vid

I'm not really sure about the weight, havn't hand a chance to check it. It does feel like it's light wing loading.. out of the plance i've had a chance to fly it's one of the better ones. I'll try to get some weight numbers. And yes.. Stock hardware.
