So today I had the fun opportunity to make two flights on Gordan Delaney's Sultan (one of Norm Whittle's old planes.) First time flying a pattern on a piped ship. It has a bar stock Ro-Jett 65 and a big Brian Eather pipe. All I can say is wow! I understand why the tuned pipe engine ships were/are so prevalent and are still competitive. It was so interesting to literally feel it regulating the power and deliver such smooth, yet instant response.
I flew Roger Kramar's electric full body Pathfinder as well. 5s2700, E-Flite Power 32. Fun ride, smooth, constant power as one would expect.
