Excelleron 90

[Randy]

I went with the Perry carb because the OS rear mounted needle valve was coming off during flight.  Funny that the Perry worked loose this afternoon and caused a dead stick.  Also I had heard so much about Perry carbs, but had ever seen one.

I am using the Excelleron to learn the advanced sequence.  Seems less riskly to learn on a cheaper plane than the Focus.  Also during the winter it gets really muddy at the local field.  Sometimes so muddy we have to close the field down for a while.  So when we get to fly we may be a 'little' rusty.

At least the simulator still works.

    Well the weather cleared enough for one test flight this afternoon.  And then the rain rolled back in before its scheduled arrival. Anyway this plane few just great.  Not sure you can ask for more out of an ARF at this cost and size.  Much smoother than the Swallow I had.  The OS91FX was a better match power wise for the Excelleron than the Swallow.  Is a cold day here so power is up, but vertical was almost unlimited.  This is one is a keeper.  Does knife edge across the field without any apparent coupling.  

    OS91FX - muffler with exhast extension and perry carb
    APC 13X8
    Fut 9202 servos
    CG 7.25 inches back.
