Title: Old Stunt Grunt with New Stunt Machine
Post by: Leo Mehl on July 13, 2007, 03:50:19 PM

Well it is finnaly finished, But not as big as the Billy-G ringmaster. Gieskie nobler is about done gassing off so will test fly this weekend. It came in lighter than I expected and is powered with a moki 51. A geat engine with power and a great 2-4  break. The paint job is simple to match  my mind. Anyway if you have built as many planes as I have it is getting so you have to steal someone elses paint job.  I am a firm believer in clear finishes for saving wieght. So here is new stunt machine HH%% HH%% HH%% HH%% HH%% HH%% HH%% HH%% HH%% HH%% HH%% HH%% HH%% HH%%

Test flew bear this morning and it is really a good plane. Did pattern with no trim. Moki is plenty of power and this plane flies great on a 2-4 brake.  This plane came out nice and light.  It's always a lot of fun when this happens.  HH%% HH%% HH%% 010! HB~>
