I was hoping someone would build a high wing, didn't think it would be a jet though!

Hi guys, just thought you might like to see my effort so far. It's looking promising. Just got to determine belkrank/lead-out position. Then build it.

Cheers, Mike. Merry Christmas, and may the new year be a good flying one. Santa

Hmmm, for some reason that looks familiar. Laughing

That's a cool looking plane, Mike. I don't recall if you've told us about the one in your avatar, what's it called? Your prop is almost as cool as the plane.

De monge Bugatti 100P, that'a a real cool plane...

ebeneezer Tue Dec 24, 2013 5:37 am

Mmmm, now you mention it, I do seem to have a thing about it. In my head it started life as a solid balsa Peewee powered free flight model (An Ebeneezer) about 3 years ago. It then changed to a TeeDee 051 R/C Model for my son, but he wanted it electric, I have to say in its profile speed form it stands a lot better chance of getting into the air.

Which is as it should be. All your hangar queens parked on the ground in shame while a REAL plane like my Sea Fury is proudly flying laps.... Clapping

probably would have taken-off like a rocket... had you lost your grip on the test-stand! I bought x3 of those props to test... and I received the digital hanging (fish) scales I ordered, to build a dyno. If I can get close to those rpm #'s.. I'll be curious about how many ounces of thrust the engine produces with that prop. I'll bet yours was pulling with some serious force! Did it get your adrenaline pumping Jim? Shocked

**RknRusty** Sun Dec 29, 2013 9:08 pm

Jim always builds screamers. Some of his engines are scary. lol!

Wait till he fires that one up on 35% nitro.

The thought of that engine on a 15" span plane scares me! I imagine it tourqe rolling straight at me on take off!

JPvelo Tue Dec 31, 2013 5:55 pm

When I set maximum nitro at 30% I didn't consider the lack of commercially available 30% 1/2a fuel. How does everyone feel about bumping nitro to 35% so the readily available sig fuel can be used? Feedback please.

I am more in favor of 25%, that means I don't have to buy any Very Happy

Whatever the group decides is fine with me.

I could get behind that idea as well.

**RknRusty** Tue Dec 31, 2013 7:35 pm

I bought Sig 35% so I could dilute it with my Sig 15% or 10%. I can work with whatever you decide. Flew the Tee Dee on my Li'l Satan with the 35% yesterday and it was so fast and mean I almost felt sorry for the little bugger. lol!
