Hi Guys,
Michael flew the P-38 at the Tucson 1/2A Multi-Engined scale contest. Against some pretty hot competition he was 5th overall and Top Junior. He also was presented a, what else?, Sterling P-38 kit in addition to his plaque!
I test flew the model twice, first with APC 5.5x2.5's and the 1 3/4 spinners, but it would barely go and I had to whip it to keep it flying. The second flight was much better with cut down APC 5x3's and no spinners. The third flight was Michael's first, and his official. He cruised through it with his first throttled take off, and first power-on landing with throttles too. The only problems were the ones caused by dad's bad short tanking (the inboard quit first) and the topography of the circle. Details to follow in Flying Models.
I was busy as the mechanic, so pics are robbed from Rickii Pyatt and Jim Hoffman.
