IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

Just fixed it Stacey. Wing tube has been sanded down! phew! lots of work to do that. I also added a small lip on the bottom of the cowl opening (in front of it), to help extra the hot air out. And I also made the baffle plate gap much smaller, like 1/8" or smaller.
@sparkx38 , you gonna be there in the morning?

What time? I will have to go swap airplanes the morning but that's not a big deal. Let me know. This assuming no one catches me in the morning with something I can't get out of or put off till after flying.

Thanks Stacey for helping me again today @sparkx38 .

Today's flight report:

Airplane flies very well.

Probably best I have ever flown!
Well, that little issue I was having, where if I cut power down all the way, the nose pitched down, was all due to the down line mix.
this airplane does not need a down line mix.

Once I removed the down line mix, now it is awesome!!

Lessons learned.

She now has 6 flights. Time to burn gas and break that motor in!

Some telemetry data:
40 to 1 redline, 93 octane gasoline, no ethanol.
Mejzlik 30 x 13 EVO L 2 blade propeller
RPM max in the air is 7250

cylinder head temp max during flight:
Left front = 301 F
right front = 290 F
Left rear = 270 F
Right rear = 260 F

gasoline consumption = 1200 mL in 11 minutes.

I have a 1700 mL tank, and flew the sequence 2 times, and once landed and checked fuel level, the one liter tank had over 600 mL of gasoline in reserve.


Later on, I will report on the MaH consumption of the 9 MKS 777 servos.

Looks great Cam, but please put the wheel panties on.... Yak's can go panty less but Extras need those panties!

 

[Dirt]

Yes, please put the pants on - the plane looks naked without them!! LOL!

 

[orthobird]

I sure will. I like to make the 1st few flights without them to make sure no mishaps during landing. But they will go on soon, now that I know she lands pretty easily.

Great looking plane Cam! Just noticed the landing gear is squatting pretty good. May want to look at something with a little more strength I know we all like the greased landings but, not all fields we fly from are nice and smooth

Congrats Cam, glad you are feeling better. Now go fly the DAMN yak!!!!! You will look a lot more sexy on the pics if you put pants on.
