Scale Pitts S1-T, S1-S, and a Challenger.

I have switched the exhaust back to dual exits, I did not like the single whether it worked or not. And I have added an exiting air baffle, according to my calculation's it should slow the transfer down about 35% thus elevating the temps. I am attempting to get the temp to at least 240° instead of the 180°. The increased temp should help the engine perform better.

Well, I have confirmed it was me switching the choke instead of the smoke. Also, the exiting baffle does not work as well as an intake baffle, it heated up more at idle but cooled right back down under throttle, so I have removed it. Sometime soon I will work on making proper intake baffle's or I might just not worry about it.

Here is a short vid of one of todays flights, I really like the new prop.

Very Nice Robert!!

Glad to see the Pitts out flying, and good to see you back here!

 

[acerc]

Thank you @WMcNabb! That was the final flight of checking something out, I.E. it is done. Now I can just have fun and enjoy it, starting tomorrow bright and early.
I do need to get the body built for Jacquie's head though.

Taking a little time to work on the build, the top right wing is framed up with glue.

Well, it finally happened, today was the day, nearly a year in the works, I finally got to put Jacquie on the sticks of the Eagle. She did pretty darn well for a first timer to r/c. What a great day! Hope to do it again sometime.

Did you tell her you'll build her a Piytts if she wants to join the hobby?

 

[acerc]

Uh, no, but I did tell her if she bought another one I'd paint it.

Congrats! She needs a comp-arf pitts, then you can paint it any way she wants!
