Hey Cap'in... Me thinks you got a bit much foam...

I get "We're sorry, this video is no longer available" when I try to follow the link.

Those 5 litre mini-kegs can be a pain to pour a good beer from, particularly when they are first opened.

Hi thanks for the aeros what motor was driving the model ? Regards john schicker very polished act

very well used fox .35

Looks good flying--- get the hover and tail drag down better though.
I enjoyed watching the film.

Very nice flying. Also a tip-of-the-hat to the photographer (and mixer). Nice job.

My Bi-Slob changes needle settings on"outsides"and inverted flight to a lean 2 cycle. I do not have room to move the tank and am looking for other options. Has anyone tried adding a small "chicken hopper" auxiallary tank to the outside of fuselage and plumbing it to the main tank so as to allow trying various pick up heights? Also, I seem to have forgotten how to get photo posted. I was going to add a new photo.

Pat,

Try putting 1/8 pads under the engine.Should help. Your old Combat friend in Utah.

Thx Gordon I will do that. Great to hear from friends.(grin). I am having lots of fun with this different kind of airplane. I keep a stop watch running because it looks like maybe serious crash city if that old Fox quits at the wrong time. Once I get my engine run balanced, I'll be ready for Mike's next video.

Pat and Mike!
Great video, nicely edited. The music is a great touch. Teriffic to see you guys have ing fun for no particular reason instead of wringing out airplanes with streamers. What's next? A couple of stunters maybe and a trip to Tucson for VSC????

Hi Randy, Thx for nice comments.

I installed a couple 1/8" metal pads under the mounting lugs of my Fox, per the tip from Gordon Delaney, and went out for some test flights this morning on my Bi_Slob. Problem solved. No more lean runs on inverted flight. Fantastic transitions to a hover.

Man I had a bad senior moment during this flying session. It is early morning and only one other person who is walking his dog is in the area. I had positioned myself under a Pine tree to have some shade and after the stuge release and the plane got airborne, I would walk out aways to be clear of the tree. Well on the take off of second flight , my brain is thinking about how great this thing is running and what a smart guy I am to check for help on the Stuka Stunt Forum and getting great advice before I went to all kinds of work and trouble to get the engine runs I wanted......Crunch......I flew my Bi-Slob into the extended branches about 12 feet AGL. I had not walked out far enough. It hung up for a few seconds and then dropped to the ground. Very slight wrinkle, otherwise no damage. Cranked it back up and did my flight. The guy with the dog did not see the plane hit the tree but when the engine suddenly stopped and the noise quit, he looked over just in time to see the plane falling out of the tree.

What a blast.

Pat,
Ya gotta watch out for those trees.....they lay in wait and jump out when least expected.
