Hey guys Good news I test flew the plane this morning and it flies just great Still needs a few minor changes but all things considered a really good day Wings level engine run same both ways A little tight on fuel with 5.5 Oz with PA 61 on pipe. Turn is good both ways Thanks for the nice comments guys.

flew plane again today line tension a little weak moved leadout guide back a little seemed to help. I am running 13inch 4 pitch bolly 3 blade prop cut to 12 inches running motor at 10 500rpm seems happy. but fuel consumption a little higher than expected I need to remove 5.5 oz tank and custom make a 6oz tank tomorrow

Steve Helmick · « **Reply #15 on:** September 10, 2023, 09:06:29 PM »

I'd put 2 oz of Coleman fuel in a gallon of glow fuel and see if that would fix the fuel consumption problem. Still, you always want to have a tank bigger than needed, so you can fill it and then remove 10cc ~ 20cc as needed to suit the weather conditions.

Is that real CF cloth/epoxy, or Ultra-Cote trim sheet? If it is film, what do you have under it?

looks great Len

Glad you are happy with the flight characteristics as well...as I have learned.. a pretty airplane that flies poorly does you no good
