A monster it is :) Turns the Falcon 28x9 cf at 6510 on the ground! It took about 7 flights to finally get the needles set, but the last flight was awesome! That engine is one heck of a beast and the idle is beautiful!

Now to sell the standard 106 with a new carb, aluminum carb and reed blocks. I am going to make a test stand and get everything running before I sell it. Have an IMAC contest in Oklahoma this weekend so it will probably be next week before I get around to getting the engine back together and running. Oh it also has an rcxcell ignition on it.

Had a great time hanging out with @Yak Attack and @Tim Sutton at Friendly Flyers in Jersey, GA today.

We spent the afternoon trying to figure out how @Yak Attack does his Jersey U-Turns...

GOt out tonight for some flights on my Sukhoi, kinda a remaiden, as I switched over to the Aurora 9x. Last I flew her, she started, popping, and carrying on, so I ran her on ground, did all my checks, leaned her a bit, and off I went, she started popping again, so I landed. Turns out opti was cutting in and out, so we disconnected it, and went back to flying. 3 good heat cycle flights on the 85, and she is just a smooth flying machine. I really like, she's more tame than I expected, so I bumped up all my rates, for last flight, starting to REALLY like this plane. I can't wait to get her back out Sun. @mulehead1969 had a BIG night tonight, as he landed his first 50ccer, CONGRATS man, he liked it so much, he got him some more, and nailed the landing on 2nd flight also. WTG man. @emtp275 was there also, but he couldn't hang with mine, and Warren's AWESOMENESS tonight.

Total awesomeness Donnie. I am so glad you kept her. That Sukhoi is one bad ass looking plane. I wonder, one day wouldn't it be superb to huck yours and mine side by side? Oh yeah...that's what I am talking about. Just out of curiousity...what Opti are you using @ChickenBalls?
