Title: Baby bi-slob flying at Bennett field today.
Post by: Dane Martin on November 06, 2016, 01:23:27 PM

Two quick videos. But I should have got a video of Joey flying big inside and outside loops. Very nice round loops. The capability of this plane is amazing.

Here's me flying low and slow while holding the phone. A little FPV view.

And a up close view of Joey flying (short clip)

Pretty cool, Dane. I love your launch technique. I've always turned down offers from other people to fly their Slobs, afraid of re-kitting them. It looks like it'll do about anything you want it to. Good steady engine run considering all the quick turning. Are you feeding it with a bladder?

That's awfully pretty grass for Las Vegas. Nice and soft for those quick landings.

It will do what you want, however as I have found out, the slower you go, the more finesse you have to feed it. The closer you are to that stall point, eeek!

And that engine run, is on a 3/8 oz perfect tank. Pure suction run. Just prop experimentation and a good tune. Joey M set that up. I just maintain the airframe... lol

Sorry guys, I missed the replies. I have been away from building anything in way too long. I need to fire up some stuff after the first of the new year

I'm always amazed how well the Bi-slobs seem to maintain enough line tension to allow such control.  What's the trick? ;)

The engine on the Baby BiSlob is angled out at 10 degrees. 17% of the thrust is pulling the airplane to the outside.

I also have a 60 size biplane and a 35 size monoplane available.
