Roger that's awesome!! I'll have to mention this to one of my flying buddies who has several jets. He and I go flying alot, so he wears out plugs pretty often. Everytime a plug dies, I'm the one who gets to change it though....

Hey Jack buddy, how are you doing?

That would be great, I have had requests from many different countries , so I guess a lot of guys are burning glow plugs

I'm doing well! Class will be over for the semester in about a week, so I'm looking forward to getting some good flying in this summer! How about yourself?

I'll let Ed know about your ignition setup and point him your way. Is it just a plug and play type deal, or are there some modifications/extra parts needed?

I'm doing great Jack, and now with the snow gone, I'm happy.

Yes its a plug and play, really , no mods on the turbine, and no mods on the ECU

OK Guys,
I have just started another thread for the T 34 C Turbo Mentor. Here it is

Today was the maiden flight of the Laser!

Let me tell you, this is first time I flew a Laser but will not be the last , its a great flying airplane ..

Oh yes the Turbo prop, Amazing is all I can say, this thing is powerfull. I flew it around with mild aerobatics for about 7 minutes.

On landing, it caught my be surprised, this thing is light and nearly didn't make the runway but it landed at a very slow speed....

I am one happy camper... I know videos, , my buddy took some, but they didn't turn out so I will try and get some more Saturday...

BIG TIME CONGRATS on the successful maiden Roger!
You do have that maximum toy store grin!

Been a while since I heard anything on this one. Wait a minute, I haven't "heard" anything ! Gotta get some vid of a prop plane whistling past !

Glad to see it flys well. Oops, there I go again ! I have not seen it fly !

The pic with you holing the prop suggests a "flip" is about to occur. That is not the way to fire one of these is it ? Air maybe ?

[jack01]

Congrats Roger!! So are you hand propping it in that second pic?

[forgues research]

Thanks to all of you, and maybe I can get a video Saturday hopefully



I thought by holding the prop I would fool all of you in thinking I have to hand prop real fast to get this turbine started

I always rotate the prop to make sure everything is OK, bu it does look weird

Roger

[gapple12]

I was wondering what happened to this one. Congrats!!! Looking forward to the video.

[forgues research]

To all that has followed this thread , I thank you very much for the interest you showed.

I will post a video as soon as I can, in the mean time you can now follow the new thread I started on the scratch building of the T 34 C Turbo Mentor.

Great job Roger, the plane looks excellent. Amazing how well the Laser tracks, isen't it? Is the 40% next after the Mentor? Congratulations on the build and the test flight.
Regards
Jack
