    I'm not stressing (no hovers or hard pull outs) it right now but can tell its pulling good power so far. With a pipe it will really accelerate in vertical. Having a great time with this plane. Going to have to rethink my fleet plans. After 6 flights on my first gasser it's everything I thought...

    Who would be interested in an entirely new type of competition?

    We're still on this guys. Cody has it in his head! Just slow with fly ins, fun flys and competitions. I'm fun flying this weekend and Cody's at an IMAC event. We'll be at the inaugural Plum Island IMAC together. Maybe we can make some progress between flying. Keep suggestions and thoughts...

    GHoffman can chime in here but he has the 91" extra and tried the same servo on the wings and he did get blow back on ailerons. Not sure what he went with. I think a better way to look at it is transport and flying sites. If I had a bigger vehicle or trailer and a bigger flying area I would go...

    I'm thinking join the golf and ski industry- traveling vans/ trucks of goodness show up (with buddy boxes for a little insurance) for DEMO DAYS! Come, try, buy! The companies could sell the "Demos" at the end of the year at a discount and then build the next years models!

    How long did you figure beak in took. Also open question for anyone- when is a break in done? What engine indications do you look for?

    Yes. I also lowered the low rate after Cody flew it. He really likes that airframe, I could tell by his face when he flew it. What's not to like, right!

    I see what you mean even after a few flights, steady increase in max rpm with each flight it seems. What did you use for oil? I'm using Penzoil air cooled at 32:1

    So far GHoffman loves his 91 and Enterprise is liking the 104. I know I'm going to love their hand me down 78. When done the three of us will have 60-104 all covered. That will make a nice line up at the fun flys!
