Ok guys,
Here's how it went down. Set up everything and promptly blew 2 bladders in quick succession! My brilliant son said " I am going to get my goggles" after the first one blew. Not dumb old dad though....
After I had the bladder sorted I got it going, but the run was horrible. I flew it out and launched again just a touch leaner. This time it went like gangbusters however it's a new plane so I had to learn how to fly it again. Basically I did some outsides and insides and a few horrible horiz and vert eights.
I launched again and this time it ran like crap and I flew it out only to notice my engine dangling by one bolt! Crap! failed pre-flight....
Anyway that ended the day. Few observations....Flaps make the plane turn stupid quick, great for sport, but not for contest flying. Going to have to desensitize the already desensitized controls. TD's on pressure burn fuel much quicker! 3/4 oz in just under 2 minutes. Lastly she is slightly tail heavy! Made for a wild ride when the fuel was almost gone.
No video today boys, it was more of a shakedown than anything. I will grab some new hardware/rebalance and go at it again.
Here are the standard oily pics!
