Hey,

Take my Great Planes Extra off my hands. Plus zdz80 ,,, LOL.

Ok so I got the surprise of my life this afternoon

When we ran my 65 the other day at ZF I tried a 26 x 8 menze on it just to see how it would do and well it was flyable but did seem to lagg just a bit. Anyway
later that day we found that I had acidently forgotten to take out the overflow plug and the tank was like a vacume cleaner inside... so after we took this out and I was now using the run inn prop on the motor I started to wonder what it might have performed like with the 26 x 8 if the tank hadn't any vacume. So this after noon I took off the other prop bolted on the 26 x 8 and flipped her over let her warm up a bit revved her up and OMG it peaked perfectly Holly &^&*. I was so surprised that my 65 could swing this 26 x 8 but Im sure that this is becuase of the can muffler.
My buddies ZDZ80 couldn't even swing the same prop well and he had to go down to a 24 x 10. Anyways I'm still gonna fly with a 24 x 8 menze cause I think this will be the right prop for 3D ( I need good reponse from the motor )

Thanks for the info trev

Nope I don't but don't even consider CAN's Iv already gone down that road with Aubry but those MVVS can are just to big you need 160mm sq gap to fit them side to side and that Wild Hare's gap in the former just isn't big enough. But Aubry reconse he's gonna make it work ( but at what cost ). Don't JK olso do those engines but under the EVO brand ( strange but I think it's true ) Maybe Peter can also help. But Im sure that in 2 weeks something will come up, I will scout around.

Yip I think your right the Bisson one will work.

What do you want for it . Just incase I know of someone looking for a new bird.

When we flew the Extra we used a 26 x 10 prop, very nice, just that it sounded like the motor wasnt peaking......Damn thing was too rich. About 12 minutes into the flight rael was doing rolling circles ,,,,,all of a sudden the motor just burst into life,,, off course running out of fuel,,, leaning out.... you learn every day. found that with the ZDZ setting them up seems to be a lot different to what i'm used to . Also they always seem to need tweeking. The Tillitson carbs on the 3w motors seem to do a real nice job. Wonder if these can be replaced.

MMM..

R5500 motor and all. Airframe ready to cover, just needs a bit of sanding, new cowl and canopy glass.

Oh, and yes, the Extra is the one with the Carbon and Bags, it's one very nice ARF.
I know the dealer that you are talking about, and I have heard this.

About your choke closing, I had it hapen to me on my KMP Yak on sunday in the air, Snapped it very hard, tryed to open the Throttle and nothing.......O-oh had to land it down wind, almost pooped my broekkie. All went well though.

Just in case you are wondering, the 90cc is not running as it should, It starts god, and low and midrange are fine, but setting those two carbs is an absoulute pain.....We got 6200RPM on a 24X8 Menz S Wednesday, thats less than my 65cc. Timing is way of, only about 10 degrees BTDC so that will make a huge diff. once that is sorted and then the one large carb is on its way........Hoping that will make things better. As it is now, you never get both Cyliders the same, one is either rich or lean. Very difficult to find out witch is witch.
We will win it though.

Yes the can has made a massive difference to the motors power plus its super smooth now I would say do it do it do it

Trev,

Thanks. Tried to explaint to Aubrey that bcans are not going to work. this is the second Wildhare kit we have owned. The first one had a 3w150 with can. What a mission, nothing but problems. Cooling was a huge issue. venting the air away from the electronics wasa nightmare. Eventually we replaced the cans with normal mufflers, problems solved. Anyway we will see. Those 3w can are the same size as the MVVS cans.

It has a new cowl and canopy. Bret did the moulding for me.
