Hogged out the foam behind the reciever and installed the new 5 cell 2150 mAh 4/5 "A" pack and got all the servos and extentions all hooked upto the reciever and buttoned up the hatch.

Jim shorten up the fill tube. That length will beat the snot out of the fuse and tank.

Started the Thor 45cc engine tonite and ran about 3/4 tank through it.
Ran real nice for the first run !

Here is a short clip of the engine running... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN3bFfwCJoI

Well I am finally done messing around with everything up front around the engine & fuel system so it's time to glue in the cowl strakes !
Once again, I used Elmers yellow wood glue to hold the strakes on.
I wrapped 3 bungee cords around the fuselage to hold them till the glue set up.

Now all I need is a 5 cell AA battery pack for the ignition and a prop bolt adapter for the spinner.

Maiden will be this Saturday morning at my club field in Sanford Florida.

Congrats on the grandchild !!!
Hope all is well with daughter & child.
It would be cool if you made it out to SAM !
Heck, I'm 50 miles from there.... where do you fly ?
Maybe I'll come visit your field one day as well.


Machined my own spinner adapter bolt and got the spinner mounted and changed out the tires to a little larger / heavier and the balance is right on the money !
One final checklist to go over and I'm all ready to maiden this bird !!!

I maidened The Talon today with the Thor 45 swinging a 20x8 prop and it didn't seem to have the power I was expecting. Gonna do some more carb adjusting and maybe an 18x8 prop to see if she will spool up a little more, only tached at 6100 - 6200.
Plane flew very nice, almost as easy as a trainer, just needed more oomph !

Jim

Here is a short video of the maiden.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRRWAt3QgOI
