	Not going—at work until 3 ish today and no practice for a couple
weeks—except last Sunday and looked like it was my 2nd time with P07 and the
Bully powered OMS.  I do have a couple more sets of batteries coming and
ought to be set for the rest of this season and next.  Problem is—as it was
for why I dropped out for 10 years—that I’ve got some pretty good sized
systems to figger out and is eating up all my time, plus ‘regular’ time
eaters.  If you know someone that wants a combo Industrial Distributor in
MH, FP, and PT; Tier 1 Automotive Material Handling Contractor that also
does motorcycles, fiberglass, booze, and bullets—have them give me a call—
“Business owner wants more time to fly toy airplanes
”



	Even though I have two sets of batteries—it really isn’t enough to practice
with in hot weather as they don’t cool down quickly enough for charging to
practice in a timely manner.  I know there is some discussion on this, but
the prevailing feeling from what I understand is to charge under 100 F at no
more than 1C, don’t use more than 80% capacity and don’t leave them laying
around very long fully charged—if you want them to LIVE.  I’m working on a
couple of battery scenarios that ought to come together shortly and should
have enough sets that I can get the first or second sets cooled down enough
to fly all day if I want.  Now if I could just get a rainmaker in here so I
can have more TIME.  Oh yeah—and to build an airplane under 8 lbs—no
problem.

	My experiment this weekend with it is to prop it down(10/5E) to where
itâ€(tm)ll run on a 1500 packâ€"flies heavy with the bigger packs.

	The electric mini brio (embrio, if you will, for short) flies pretty
poorly. I bought into the hoopla also when it first came out, since a bunch
of pattern folks were touting its virtues. Wing is small and too thick, with
a LE radius that is too large.



	It can be made to fly much better by building a new wing from foam,
reducing wing weight to half the original, and increasing the area by 10% or
so. Also, if you choose to do that, reduce the LE radius to about half the
original and wing thickness at about 10% of the chord.



	One of these days, when this working deal slows down, I may put an article
together of exactly what I am doing on it.

	            Here I wasâ€"bragging on the good characteristics of the Extra
and didnâ€(tm)t have all that much good to say about the Brio 10 a while
back.  I was trying to get the stock spinner to work on it last night (it
flat wonâ€(tm)t with an APC) and when buildingâ€"I neglected to seal the
surfaces.  I may have a different opinion on the Brio now.  Weâ€(tm)ll
see….
