The I'm going out flying thread 2016

[stangflyer]

Went out last night and tonight for a total of 7 more flights on the 330lx with the zdz180. What a monster I think I may have figured out a secret to starting the engine tonight. 3 flips with the choke, turn the choke off and 3 more flips and we are running. Will see if that same procedure works the next time I go out.

I would love to see/hear that 180 wailing in person. But a video would suffice. Maybe that sweet daughter of yours will shoot some footage of that bad a$$ in action?!

The temps have cooled off some and it looks to be a great weekend for getting some flying in. Going to start the weekend off right bright and early tomorrow morning with some RCGF 120 huckin'. Then probably get a couple more flights in on the recently gasserized Cessna.

Sunday will be a repeat of last week. Some relaxing precision flying with the 3dub 170 Sukhoi. Heck, who knows? Might even try to get a little tail. As in rudder bumpin'!

Hey Rob, @stangflyer, here is a link to the maiden video. Not sure if you have seen it yet or not. This is with the 29x12EVO 3 blade that has stayed in place since the initial run Just some mild IMAC type flying.

I dunno Mark. Doesn't look as though it has much power. And why does it sound like it's only running on two cylinders?

Seriously, looks pretty sweet. I still am considering a 180 in the near future.

I guess I should kick the other two in and get some real power Already looking at the 224 for a possible future project Can't imagine what kind of power it has with what the 180 is putting out I have a total of 20 flights on the engine and I still land with a big grin on my face every time. Thanks again go to Joe and Nicole from ZDZ USA!

That is so awesome. I am really happy for you. Maybe I ought to cons2that four banger too.

Well........Not a quad. Not a 180. Not even a 120. Just a couple of cylinders of 70cc bad ass going to the field today!

Doesn't matter the size. Doesn't even matter the brand. As long as you can get some stick time, it's all awesome.
