[NSRCA-discussion] Winter practice plane

[Jim Woodward]

I knew that would perk you ears Dave :-).  However, to my view Jason
flew electric on Saturday with about the same presentation he flew the
glow on Sunday.  Saturday's flying was not slow-pretty-140 meter, 22x11
flying, it was a lot faster than usual.

Hmmm.......180-200m is supposed to be a mandatory downgrade.  Never
thought I'd see an Astral appear to be an Aurora in the air <G>.

 

At the rather windy Tangerine, Jason won FAI flying electric on Saturday
and glow on Sunday.  Only round Jason lost was when the very new DZ
chewed up a plug and flamed out.  I flew electric the whole weekend and
finished in 2nd.

 

Emory won 3 rounds in Masters flying electric and might have won the
rest if he was able to return on Sunday.

 

Electric or glow, I'm all for my competitors flying at 180+ meters!!!

	Hi Wayne,  All

	 

	I personally will be taking 'electric-like' comparisons to my
glow setup out of the vocabulary for good!  For a while it has been a
goal for few, and myself included, to try to get glow to perform in the
same window as electric setups.  I'm damn glad to put that phase behind
me.  I do like the speed control offered by the 18.1x10.1 and the
15.75x10 3 blades, but they have the "ballistic" option available when
needed too - as attested to by the Tangerine contest.  While I don't
think I need to fly as fast as David Shulman (... who may still be
apologizing the air-molecules the Australl was splitting apart), I'm not
going to be flying "touchy-feely" stuff anymore either.  At this point I
still think "medium" is a nice thought to have, but it was also pretty
cool to see some "big" maneuvers flown again around the 180-200 mark
again.  

	 

	Thanks,

	Jim W.

	The 18.5x9.5 APC should be a good prop also.  Dr Harrison is
running one and he likes it.  The Mejlic is about 2.5 oz lighter and
would spin up little better even if it did load the engine(O.S.1.40)
more.  Had a very electric like transition on throttle and a very
constant speed.  Engine rpms did not seem to increase from 5/8 to full
throttle but you had the power as you advanced the throttle in uplines.

			If you get a chance try the Mejlic 19x10 c.f.
prop.  It worked OK on my OS 1.40... a bit on the loaded side but I bet
the BEAST would turn it just fine.

		Wayne, should be good, we'll see. Used to have an 18x10W
Mejlik running on the W145. Engine had enough grunt to turn it ok. 

		 

		Also will look at the 19.5x9.5. APC
