Hi Eric and rest of Comunity, today and after "siesta" (short time sleeping after lunch) I write about TE 3th day.

I´ve visited to my special friend    and my best teacher "Rafael Gómez Sajardo", he´s the first pioneer of spanish experimental aviation    at 70´s of course he learn all in U.S.A.

Here TE near to 1/2 Volkswagen twin 4 cycles engine of Demoiselle aircraft



... and here me and a Rutan´s Voyager signed photo.  



Hes son works fliyng DC3 cargos around California and he´ve worked in maintenance box Iberia airlines company in Chicago, Californa and last 4 years in Canadá.

He continue building airplanes and model airplanes and teach all your knowledges to me.  

Here, building an aluminum tube slope sailplanec called Goat.





He use the first tee dee in a Scull Master model airplane with a Mule pulse trasmitter    ... one pulse right and two left ... he lost the airplane   in a big thermal and recovery after one year and Tee dee    start perfectly.  

He use also  Tee dee .049 engines when he was young in a deustch motorglider called Amigo II of Graupner.



And today he start after 50 years the travelling engine setting at 19.500 rpm   for a few seconds and also with 10% nitro fuel.  



In the 70´s   fuel and engines were suply in american aircraft military base in Torrejón (Madrid).



Video edition take time. I accept suggestions  for video vintage music songs.

Travelling Engine Tee dee .049 in Spain

Many problems  to put Jimi Hendrix music on the soundtrack, even buying the music, so each put the music that you like more background.

Finally I find good country folk music copyright free in youtube settings
