Stang, I think I have to listen here to you and Matt, First I need to know what that thing can do and how it flies, thanks.

Huck, I have been psycching myself that I will not do anything crazy at the begining, we will find out if it will work or I do the opposite like everytime.

The 60 will be just as badass doing rolling harriers on the deck versus torquing.

Cracky the 342 fits like a glove on the 60%.

I have flown the 3W 342 in a 425 lb UAV, and went to 10,000 feet and flew around at 70 knots.
No worries.......you will have plenty of power.

Mike, that's very reassuring, I feel much much better now, thanks.

Are you kidding me, I will be in heaven if I can get that.

I agree, I thought of you when it stopped working but if I knew you were going to see my post about the camera not working I wouldn't have admitted it, too late now and since it doesn't work anymore, yes it was a junk, lasted 8 years though.

Eli,I have not been keeping up with the tread lately,have you run the beast yet

Dave, not yet as I don't have a prop, I should get it tomorrow and I will run it this coming weekend provided we don't have any issues.

Eli,thanks for the reply,one more question. what size is your trialer that you have,I have a 7x17 V-Nose pace aero sport limited and will the 60%260 fit in one that size.when I seen yours next to your trailer,looks like it will eat up all the space.Man that thing is a monster.

Dave
My trailer is either 7x16 or 7x17 V nose, I don't remember but yes the Extra is a monster, I think it will fit without a problem, how many 40% I can squeeze in there with 60? I am not sure, we will find out this coming weekend since I just got the prop

Fire that Mofo up....I am sure you can get Rania to hold it for you

This weekend? I'd better pack my bag and get up there since I'm doing the maiden.

The prop looks nice, I got it from Bryan Zang at Aerographix, it is 38x13, that's on the small side, I think this will be the break in prop, it's pretty, made of laminate, I like it so much I want One over the fireplace.
As for my wife helping me start the plane, that's a great idea but I'd rather her be starting and me holding just in case I get interfered with which is most likely to happen

Just kidding.

Craven, no way unless I get a guarantee you will only do One Snapasaurus on takeoff, I have a feeling if let you test fly it you will do 2.

Oh Boo Hoo.... i'm a wuss... BUT,

get her in the air and make sure she's snapasauras worthy! it may be a bit less "manly" but real men live to fly another day!!!! i'm sure it'll be great! i would just hate to see any un-necessary tragedies! you still the man elie!!!!!!!!!!

matt

As long as its on video it will be a maiden to remember, regardless

I think I would have to vote for the snap myself.

Roll video....maybe I can send you up my WrongWay Cam? It looks wherever you look?

Thats awesome the prop came, cant wait!!!!!

I think I will do that, my problem is I have promised myself to behave many times before but I never delivered, I think I will this time, completely different animal.

It will be on video for sure as for the Snap it will come at the right time could be the first flight maybe the second, who knows but it will come eventually.
