Default Dalton 42% 260 Maiden

I've waited 7 long months for this day and man it went perfect

Did some pre-flight checks,all was good...Fired up the 3W-157CS (what a power house), taxied a bit on the runway and hit the throttle...The plane was gone...What a fantastic flying plane.It is extremely agile and manoeuverable...Need to some more trim flights but I can for-see an excellent summer of flying....Tony you did a great job on these.

Razr,I haven't run that 3 blade I bought from you yet...i've put on a NX 31.5x 3-DB (what ever that means ) competition series wood prop and it rips the hell out of it at 3\4 throttle and that's on the first tank....I'll try the 3-blade Mejzlik when it's broke in.


ShortBus thanks.It really is a nice plane

My friend raves about the 3w 32x14 for IMAC on this plane and combo. For 3D, hard to beat the 3w 3D prop.

Stephen,I've got a Mejzlik 28.5x12 3 blade....I'm a little concerned that it won't be enough

What 2 blade are you swinging...

Tony thanks,I really love the plane.Unfortunately I won't be at Joe Nall this year.

Me and my friend here in Shreveport have been running the 3W 32x14 carbon props for the last 2months on our 157cs's and so far it is the best prop we have run on the motors. Another friend we fly with just go the Vess 32-D for his 157 so we will be able to compare the props. The 3W 32x14 prop is quiet (you can only get it to rip if you stay in stay power at straight and level flight) with consistent speed and excellent downline braking. I have to admit I was skeptical of the prop at first and richened my motor at first to run such a big prop and ended up fouling a set of plugs. I changed the plugs and started creeping in on the high end needle and the motor continues to make more power with each adjustment. I pulled the plugs the other day and they still have a black burn to them but much cleaner than the first month and the motor still runs very cool. One thing about this motor is even at rich settings it still runs like a sewing machine unlike the old 150's. If any of you guys are looking for a good 2 blade prop for this motor the 32x14 is a good match.

I won't make Nall but I think Jeremy and his dad will be there for the week. I will see Ryan at the Little Rock Imac contest the week before and get some stick time on his new Aerotech 300.
