Mowing and testing.

The long holiday weekend and rain kept the park from cutting the grass last week. I brought a push mower and cut enough to get my planes off the ground safely. The Wild Thing and .40 engine is proving to be a great combination. I don't think the engine likes my low nitro fuel so I added some nitro to the can and will give it a try in the morning. I can get in an hour of flying before the temperature gets to high. I also changed to a 10.5 x 4.5 APC propeller from the 11 x 4. They both work very well but the smaller one gives me a bit more ground clearance. I'm flying with 57 foot lines and thinking about 55 or 56 footers. I have plenty that I can shorten. Although it flys very well on the 57's.
