[NSRCA-discussion] Winter practice plane

Jason:
You mean 175 meters..  The rules says farther than 175 is a downgrade.

He'll get the hang of throttle and the sequences soon. Flying that far out
gave him time to figure out what was next.

 

I found out it wasn't the plug that was the issue, but the prop. Apparently
my 15" crescent wrench isn't big enough to tighten the prop enough not to
slip. Too many years of hand tightening my electric props <G>... jk. But the
prop slipped and started to eat my spinner back plate. The new plug is still
in the motor though.

 

Face wind like that an I'll keep it out at 180m all the time... I mean
179m...lol.

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!!!   <G>

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.

Matt,

 

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 G.

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
