LOL ......Hey Glen that sound better
As long as you are happy. I think that you have to be one hell ova good negotiator to get Alfonso to send you a 50cc for ZIP. Maybe I should ask them to develope and send and send me a 200cc twin for all the crap I had...........LOL

Chees mate and good luck with the game .

Nice I can see one of my demo pilot's planes in the top left. The CA-Model Galaxy.

50 cc plane that flies like a pattern plane. On rails

Hey Peter,How are you?
How was the maiden flight of your extra?

Here are two pics showing some of the animals we have to deal with when we go flying.

Here are some pics from this morning.

We did not get to maiden the plane, but ran the engine a bit more and did range checks. The CG still has to be set. Hope to get that done for the next weekend.

First pic shows Damien trying to CG
Second show the Brain of the plane. Weatronic dual-synthesised receiver with power box functions all in one unit.
Third one show the power plant.

Specs:
Plane: CA-Model Extra 330L 33%
Servos: Hitec 5955, 2 per wing, 2 on rudder, 1 on each elevator
Receiver: weatronic 10-20R
Motor: MVVS 116 with the new lipo ignition system

On the second run I went and put the idle so low that I thought the engine would quit. But the ignition just puts in some auto-choke and she just idles and idles. Next time we are going to take some measurements of that idle, but its looooow about 700 rpm

Man thats one sweet looking plane

I cant wait to see it fly

Looks like as soon as you finished packing up the wind stopped. Packed up to get some time in on the slope, the wind dropped to NOTHING by the yime I got home, watching the guys falling out from home.

Wotsup guss

How was flying today
