 |  Took some toy out to play.
I took a few of my toys with me to play. I got to go to the flying field yesterday for five hours. Usally I only get to go for an hour and a half to two hours.    I got a chance to put some real time in to triming and mixing my new 33% Lanier Yak with the DL-100 in it. Getting it real close, just some real slight triming and adjusting the CG some. After that, just need some more time on the engine and sticks. I also need to put some O-Rings on the axle to slow thw wheels ( brakes ), the DL-100 is idleing at 1400 rpm and the plane still keeps rolling. The winds were about 15 - 18 mph, so on a calmer day I will do some fine tuning. Here are two of the triming flights on video.
