I have found the enemy and he is,well you know.

Dredging up the memory of making the last batch of fuel was painful to say the least. I didn't remember removing 16 ounces of castor from the mix. That gave me around 24% oil. That in turn was gumming up the engines. I grabbed some all synthetic fuel and ran some through the engines which has improved the run. I did some calculations and I think I diluted the oil % down to where it should be. I had used 2 gallons of the mix and now I have 5 gallons again, hopefully of the right oil %.
 The weather has been real good for flying. I've been out mostly in the morning but also in the afternoon on a couple of occasions. I plan on taking the Guru and the Legacy to the Lee, Ma contest. I think the Legacy is the better flyer though. The Privateer needs more trimming and I may bring that on Sat. and get some help with it.
  The dry spell is supposed to end in a few days. Most of the water will run off before it can soak into the dry dirt though. The grass hasn't grown much in the last few weeks which is good.
 I parked the hot rod near the road during the VJ day parade and got a lot of lookers and quite a few stop and looks and several get out and looks. Time will tell.
