Fright of the MUSTANG P51 .
« on: December 31, 2016, 11:47:39 PM »
S.A.T. Field , opposite Bankstown Airport , New Years Day .

This is its 11th Flight . g-51 . 65 Ft lines . 018 Laystrate . Merco Muffler .
Nudge on a flap 7 swap the Como 51 For the ST 51 . No Other ' Trimming ' .



Take Off is 2:30 . hadnt dampened it .  :P

Right , my ' technition ' has got a couple more on there . First ( of the day ) without the biginnings a bit rich .
Inner tyre binding on the stirrup / leg a bit, so rolls left / in . flys itself out , but makes the pilot jump . fairly light on the lines , as yet .



Primed & turned thru , ' bumped ' and waited for the cameraman . 2nd hit , I think . As a good G 51 Should .
Its the salt mines for the sound engineer , I should think .  ;) Has Pretentions as a musician , that might explain it .

A verttical Sq 8 , a Square clover & a horizontal hourglass , at least that was the intention , thrown in at the end somewhere on these two .
First Flight was 120 cc of fuel , others I filled it . A puff of smoke from the wind indicator , for the keen eyed .
One of the clovers the air moved & ' pilot lapse ' had the first loop cocked to the right , with other displaced and moving air on the last .

You see things youd miss here . Some you though skew whiff not as appalling as youd assumed ( intersections ) others balls ups where youd thought o.k.
Must standardise Flying Footware , Jandels / Bare Feet a missplaced step sees things offset , tho occasionally counters indiiscretions .

This One ( The Second Flight ) is a bit lean , thought lots of things particularly in the squares were far more off than it appears .
Handle Today was 1/2 in Closer , Not the K. K. one Id used previous . Actually think the ' over sensitive ' handles preferable .
Maybe a notch of noseweight , and try swinging the line guide - maybe fwd .



Constructive Critisisms o.k. I know it pretty sloppy . 6 hrs of sweltering today before we got there . Ive ' had it processed' as Im not fancy pants camera savy yet .

The Mustang shows promise.   Watching the videos it looks like you are rushing the pattern. Happy New Year. H^^
