Swallow & Also Servos

[Wade Akle]

Tower 75 with 12x6 (planning on 13x6 when fully broken-in), APC 15x18 fuel,
10,000 rpm (slightly rich). It does very large Advanced maneuvers.
I'm puzzled, an OS 91FX should rocket it into space!!
Before I got the 75 I used the Tower 61 for a few flights. It worked, but
the maneuvers were labored.
