    One would think that.... However since lately my focus has been more on media than flying, I always seem to have my camera gear with me at the field. Next stop is XFC where I definitely won't be flying, but will take tons of pictures! Oh, and tonite I had both. The Nikon wins again:

    I stretched the spring a pinch, as it felt very easy to depress when I first examined it. I'll report back after I'm able to test run.

    WOAP! June 4th, 2016 - Texas - Apache Pass

    Hope the weather cooperates for the fly in. It's been really unpredictable just a few miles away here in San Antonio. We'll be forecasted for heavy rain that doesn't show, and the next day 20% chance turns into a day of relentless thunderstorms.

    I'm not familiar with these parts you mention, but I'll study up and take a look at the spring. Thank you

    Basic engine tuning.

    In my experience, the GP-61 has a "mid-range burble" that is not able to be tuned out entirely, due to the design of the stock side dump muffler. I've had a GP since they first came out, and long ago stopped worrying about the sound, and just tuned it for performance. It really runs well, even...

    APC "Electric" vs. "3D" Props

    From what I remmeber, the APC 3D props are similar in design to a Falcon "wide" carbon fiber prop. Basically a longer chord for more low end grunt, and less pitch.

    I think there is a little nostalgia for Snowdog and NJSwede and I, as we spent so much time building a site that has disappeared forever, but alas that is the unforeseen consequence of selling it. I will say again that I'm really excited to see all the content moved over here, and hopefully...
