Title: First Topeka flying session 2013
Post by: Dave_Trible on April 28, 2013, 01:14:06 PM: Today there was a good group to hack a 12 mph wind to test some new stuff. Always nice to go play with the boys:

The one or two days that have been nice I have had other stuff to do. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you guys had a great day.

What engine is Jim using in his Score ? Is it reworked? How did it fly with that engine?

Sorry I missed that. It's a stock Super Tigre .51. Sounds, runs and flies great. BTW. Darwin's Fazer has a muffled McCoy .40 Custom and does a pretty good job. The Fazer looks good in the air. I think that covers all the power plants.

Hey Paul. Thank you for your comments, yes it's my creation. I'm really liking it a lot and am still learning how best to use its strongest points.

Jim wish you could have been there. Your name came a time or two (no worries). This year the weather has been so strange. Most years I'd already have a gallon or two of fuel burned by now. So far I'm at about 6 flights for the spring. Of course those few better days were work days for me so I could only think about it! Even sat eating my lunch at the flying field a few times and daydreamed about those great patterns I didn't fly those days. Now it's time for the spring gales and monsoon. Oh well, it'll happen. See you at the contest.
