That will work fine, I just need to get about nine or ten match boxes and we should be good to go!


3D-Boogy, good luck with the maiden.

She ready and packed in the trailer for the maiden this weekend!!!
The other one that you are refering to was the 28% Midwest CAP with the one piece wing in the same colours.
This is my own design as you know with split wings, can't wait till tomorrow.
Good luck and try to get it on video !

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.
regards
Andreas
Hey Andreas

I am sure there will be someone there with a cam there usualy is when we fly
but just incase I will take one with myself but don't be dissapointed I know from past experiance that filming and flying at the same time dont work very well. LOL

I will be sure to get footage and edit and post it for all you guys to see.

Really what have you heard?

Well now they apparently wana fit some black coloured ing box to it. Have you seen theese units. Im very confused cause they said they were going to fit the same one as the GR PRO engines use and thats the RC EXEL.
