I got in two flights with the batteries hooked to the plug. Same fuel load, 3.5 ounces, and got 6 min 39 secs. of run time on each flight. That's 1 min 54 secs./ounce. Pretty good I think. I think I'll make up another holder and install it on the orange Primary Force as it needs a fuel mileage increase. That will be a good test too. The short runs cost me first place at Baton Rouge last October. That's a good project for today as the winds are supposed to be strong. The other Fox got a head shim and it flew much better. I got in a full pattern for the first time with the plane. I've noticed that adding a drop of armor all to the fuel stops it from foaming. But the drop only lasts for a day or so. Now when I go out to fly I shake the fuel and if it foams I add another drop. I've had to add a drop each session and the engine runs are better. I only take a quart with me and have to refill the jug each time out so it will foam up without the armor all.
That Cherokee looked good, any word on it?

Nope. No reply. There's another with a bad motor for $300. I'm going to give him a call Monday.
That will make a good tow vehicle too.
Got all the plane stuff and music as well.
