Beautiful bird Claudio..
What about the flight reports ?
Looking over your setup, you listed lap times at 5.1~5.2, I like to fly a little slower something like 5.3~5.4.
With all the reserve power of that "Big Block" you have in the 77, dont you think it would be easy to set it up to fly a little slower.
If I ever build something for a 4-stroke I plan to use a Saito 62, which I feel has plenty enough power for a plane in the low 60's.
Thanks, Allan.
I could only make two flights so far (the weather here has been just UGLY for the last one and a half weeks).
The first one, with no other purpose but to get rid of the MFPMS ("Maiden Flight Panic Mode Syndrome", which I think almost every stunt pilot suffers from
) and the second one just to check CG and any evident unwanted tendencies, so, no pattern...only a few round loops. Despite the CG was just a bit aft (got to remove some tail weight I added in the bench trimming process) the plane flys on rails (very good tracking with no hunting whatsoever).
It was a promising debut.
Yes, with the carb mod that Bob Reeves recommends, you can make any RPM's adjustments at will, but 5.1 to 5.2 are the lap times I feel comfortable with to fly in any wind condition, specially in a windy day.
Regards,
Claudio.
