Makarenko F2CN
Mike Callas:
Just got my F2CN from Vova Makarenko. The airframe is professional in every aspect. Motor is a rebuilt Profi from Mark Greenwood. Weight less prop is 345g.
I finished some lines for it and mixed a batch of fuel. Hope to test i Sunday morning.
Dave Hull:
Mike actually let me touch the plane today. It is really, really nice. And it still was even after I handed it back to him.
Tomorrow we will fight over who gets to flip and who gets to fly. Gonna be fun either way..... Sure hope it he will run in the hot weather. (The pilot, I mean.)

Mike Callas:
Unfortunately, I introduced some debris during the fueling process. The motor eventually started, but we chased the setup all day to no avail. I finally noticed some foreign particles in the clear fuel tank. Waiting to get instructions on Zalp tank disassembly and same for a Profi needle valve assembly. Many thanks to the Dave brothers Hull and Dawson. Oh Hull said the plane flies great. It accelerates out of the hole quickly and is easy to land just before the pit. Light and easy on the hand when pitting.

Does the model have external controls? I hope so. At the risk of being Mr. Buzzkill, the F2C rules, which differ from FAI F2F, require external controls and a non-recessed fuel tank. Of course on a local level, rules may be amended to suit.

I sent him the rules from NCLRA and he indeed did mount the control externally. Unfortunately the F2C style tank is partially recessed into the fuse. If that is a point of contention I can replace it with a tank that is not recessed.
