On top of Joey helping me to learn the art of combat, it turns out he's a CL history buff.... lol
We flew the fire baby today. Wen-mac .049 with a square tipped wen-mac 6 inch prop. Rock solid flyer!

Cool Dane,
How on the earth did he get an .049 to 4/2 like that? I've done it, but it really zaps the power. The one in the video seems to have plenty of authority.

Damn, that is a pretty amazing engine run. I've never even considered to try it with an .049. But nowadays all of mine are on bladders, so it wouldn't be possible anyway. That was a good flight though, the way you were able to just stand there with your hand in your pocket, flying wingovers and loops without having to work at keeping it tight.
