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.
