Title: More fun than flying.
Post by: Ty Marcucci on July 25, 2007, 09:20:19 AM

About the only thing more fun than actually flying one of your models, is handing over a model to a fellow club member that hasn't flown CL in about 30 years, and watching him go round and round, then doing a tentative loop. Then another loop. Next flight, two loops and a wing over. Third flight, three loops, both inside and outside and a few wing overs. Then seeing the big grin on his face. What was really great were his long gentle take offs and very smooth landings. I think he is hooked again.   H^^

Ty,
What engine do you have on the Primary Force?  Did you have to add nose weight, either before or after the crash?  Mine looks like it will need quite a bit of nose weight added to that short nose even with an FP.40.

Thanks,
