    Covering questions

    Basic engine tuning.

    Basic engine tuning.

    We figured must be a vapor lock issue but didn't have much for ideas on curing it. Will check the fuel lines out. The crazy deal is, if you kill it, refuel it, and start it right away again, then it starts easier. I wonder if maybe a fuel line close to the muffler has more time to vaporize if...

    Basic engine tuning.

    I'd like some ideas on starting my da 70. I've been flying in 90° weather lately with 80%~ humidity. It'll start and run fine the first time of the day, but after I've landed, fueled, and waited for my turn again, it's a real pain to start. I have to come for 3-4 flips, choke off 3-4 flips and...

    Assembly: EF 110" Yak-54 V2

    If it's an EF it's bound to be up with the best, if it ain't the best. I love my 91" extra and they seem to be built quite solid. Looking forward to seeing how many servos you can squeeze in this big girl! [emoji16]

    Meet the Pilots!

    Lots of new faces. At least to me. Looking forward to see how they do against some of the veterans like Joe and Jase. Thanks for those profiles! Really like that.

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    If we're on food..... American Airlines decided to delay my flight so they could put me up in a super8 last night. I combined the food vouchers and bought the most expensive steak I've ever eaten! 16oz ribeye, medium rare, sweet tea..... I'm full now. [emoji1]

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I finally got out and put 3 flights on my 91" extra! Haven't flown a bit since November! Sure was nice to find out that I can still move the sticks and the plane "usually" does what I want.
