All better.

We are almost over covid we contracted on a flight when we were coughed on. I put the Vector up for a spell to concentrate on the Mo' Best. I plan to use it at the local contest as there is three events it will fit in. I need the room in the truck as I am bringing 8 planes to sell or if they don't sell they will go in the raffle. I've been flying in the morning lately and an r/c flyer was flying across the field. I stopped in when I had finished what I was doing and found they had parked one of their planes at the top of the tallest tree in the park. I looked for it the next day and it's still there. A hig wind is needed to get it out and by then it will be useless. The new Pixie Bob 2 is coming along. I'm prepping the parts for covering now. I have spent over $200.00 on wood and hardware so far. I may need another can of clear dope and colors before I'm done.

Nitro testing.

The heat has layed off finally. I went to the park with the Vector and the higher nitro fuel and the original 10.5 x 4.5 APC prop. The nitro did the trick and I was able to get in the first full pattern.The plane is quite lively as the c/g is slightly aft of where it should be. I had cored the stab and elevators to save weight and it's still a bit tail heavy. I have the stock muffler and a 2 ounce heavy hub to get the balance as close as it is. I planned on taking the electric "Mo Best" to the Georgia contest but neither of us is in any condition to go at this time. The Mo Best fits into 3 categories so I only have to bring 2 planes instead of 4. The Jamison for Old Time Stunt being the other plane. The Tundra was ready on time and it looks very nice. Polished and detailed a nice touch. I started work on a new Pixie Bob using a more modern airfoil. I don't know why as I have 26 planes now.
