Turning in the mid 16's. What NVA do you have in there?

[kevin king]

I have one of the fine thread japanese NVAs in it. No drilling was required in the stock case

Thanks Bob, I was dizzy after the first flight. The 2nd and 3rd flight i was fine. Spacing at the handle was to wide, The prop needs more pitch, and the engine needs more nitro. Thanks for your help, Paul Gibeault's help and Mike Thiesen's help.

Against my better judgement i decided not to install a tip weight box. Now I am flying around with double the tip weight i need and have to cut into wing to drill it all out. Unreal. Ya, i dont need adjustable lead outs or tip weight box some say. But this is not a box stock Winder with a fox 35 or 36x with a crankcase pipe sticking out the back. How you going to fine tune it? There is no reference. I didnt build 3 identical models and adjust the trim after the last. Maybe i should fly it with one of those 5" spaced sullivan handles too.
