Victory and defeat.

The new Evo .60 wouldn't run the way I wanted it to. I tried many ways to win the battle but still not the way I wanted. There were some small wins like installing head shims and drilling more holes in the tongue muffler. Not until I accepted the fact that the engine would only run one way did I get the right combination. The flight was short because the stab. folded early in the flight. The engine did run properly though. The damage wasn't that bad as I built it with hard balsa except for the stab. The wing had some broken glue joints and ripped covering. I have a replacement under construction now. A balsa foam and balsa sandwich and I added diagonals to the built up original elevator. I started covering the stab. this afternoon.
