Re: Pensacola, FL IMAC October 10, 2009
Got the prop in yesterday, going to drill it this afternoon and get some flights in. Should be in Toone by 7 on Friday. Looking forward to seeing you guys.
BTW: I ordered a Sig pump with the prop and built my own fill/empty control box. 500+ cranks per flight gets old... quick. Anyone intrested in how I built it just ask. Cost was around $60. |

I will not be flying my big plane at any IMAC events in the near future.

That is sad news Jack. We'll miss you for sure. Won't be the same, but fully understand that family comes first.
Best regards, Greg |

Re: Pensacola, FL IMAC October 10, 2009
Nathan,
Much better than the yellow plane. I put 15 flights on it and took it to Baton Rouge and immediately noticed how much less work it was. The only downfall is it has wayyy more speed than it needs and right know looking at a 3 blade to take care of it. Like you I felt my money was better spent working the bugs out and flying at home this weekend. Heading to Pratville next. Hope you can make it here to P-cola, should be a good time. I see over on the IMAC site they are talking about having Unknowns for Basic class (this is purely optional) just to get some experience/practice. Hmm.... |

Re: Pensacola, FL IMAC October 10, 2009
Mejzlik 28-10, getting 6600 rpms on the ground w/MTW cans. My throttle curve is linear but I cannot seem to control (speed) well enough on the inside outside loop. The top part will not curve down when I give it rudder (in the half roll) and when it does start to change direction it is not smooth. My heavy, underpowered (slow) 260 did it better.
Another area I need to work on is the stall break heading into the spin. It just keeps flying. Overall it flies better with a rearward CG, but will not break in the stall, so I'm inching it forward. Problem is there is nothing to attach the batteries too. |
