    Well, I did that flatspin landing kinda harrier landing style... tailwheel touched down first... cracked some wood back there a bit more than I first realized. So, I replaced a piece of the fuse side. What do you guys think of this pink? :geek:

    DA and 3W 170s officially approved for hovering planes up to 45lbs. ZDZ, DLE and other 170-180s... well?... just do the best you can. ;)

    After I pulled the engine I started looking for loose joints from the flatspin landing. There were a couple. I also saw that all the joints were put together with hot glue (as we all know). I'm so glad that Pilot leaves the firewall off for us to glue in with some quality epoxy. Anyway, it's...

    I don't have a telemetry setup for the engine, so I don't have any data for you about the effectiveness of the baffle job I did. But, I just yanked the motor to send it in to DA to have them look at the timing, etc. What I noticed was no pink whatsoever on the cylinders. Every DA I've seen after...

    My daughter was just getting her video camera out when I set it down. From the moment I was on the ground until now I can't make up my mind about whether or not I would want to see that video (if she had taken it). One minute I'm sure I do, and one minute I'm sure I don't. haha Just before...

    Thanks, me too! haha Yeah, I do the same thing with the servo box... but I didn't even look, let alone double check... I just wasn't on my game... truth be told I was agitated before I got to the field and was telling myself to just turn around and go home. That my head wasn't in it and that'd...

    Exactly! I need pictures! I have been thinking about how I can make this foolproof!

    I hear that! I had it happen once before on a Carden which had the wing retention fail... total destruction. :/ I thought sure this plane was 100% done.

    Yeah, I've done things like this a few times on the ground and was lucky enough to catch them. Not this time. :O

    A little excitement yesterday... forgot to put in my wing bolts on the right wing. :eek: Got about 30 seconds into the flight and pulled an upline and watched the wing separate from the fuse by 10" or so... then it rotated 90°. The Dean's plugs were holding it in place. I figured I was done...

    This DA has been interesting, Ben. But, from the beginning DA has said just send it in and they'll check it out. So, that is a positive about DA, too. Now that I have 10 gallons through it... it is really starting to be scary powerful. I was thinking about it and there were two things different...
