A friend from Nebraska had a giant scale Hots he scratch built. Last September we were at a fun fly in Sheridan Wyoming. Not sure what gas engine Leon had on it, he was up having fun with it, all of a sudden boom. He figured the muffler came loose and the prop hit it and then hit the left wing. The rest of the plane came down in pieces.



That stinks....

It was really too windy but I just had to test fly it. I got two solid flights tonight. No one else out so no video. CG is now about spot on. Had to hold just a touch of down inverted.

Still a new motor so I hope power picks up some with break in. Muffler is really quiet in the air and you hear the 20-6 Xoar over the exhaust. Hopefully we'll get a calmer day and I can get some vid.

Hope to fly this a lot this summer!
