Test flight.

I got to the park a bit late as the temperature didn't get into the 50's until after I got home at 1030. The new motor box worked perfectly. There was no unusual vibration and the plane flew quite well. Now I have to get the total flight time set so I can get the entire pattern in with about 6 laps to spare. I have 3/4 of an ounce on the tail I can play with to get the stability I want. The Nomad 4 sports a modified stock muffler now. It has a one inch extension that makes it quite long. I removed it and bolted it back together so it looks like a normal muffler. I got in 3 short flights just to see how it performs with the nose weight from the muffler. It's usable as it is.
