[NSRCA-discussion] Activities for a Sunday ,, was Too Quiet

[W. Eddie Batchelor]

I must concur. Contrary to some comments by others that the gas converted
OS160 isn't competitive - At our LARKS contest we watched Mark Hunt fly P-11
with George's Black Magic VF3/ OS160-Gas and he didn't lack power anywhere
in the sequence. The half-square loop with full snap roll up proved the
power avail.  It was fun to watch.

Matt,

Very interesting.  I have two 160's and they are turning 7900 with 18.1X11
APC's.  They don't have the "stupid power" of a YS 170 but they will pull
the plane through maneuvers just fine.

Good luck with the Syssa, and keep us apprised.

 G,

I have both powerplants. Weight favors the Syssa by a couple ozs. Power is
probably a wash. I will tell you that the Syssa, brand new, turns a 17x12 at
8200 on pipe. After break in it will run a couple hundred more. My 160 on
pipe didn't run those numbers on the ground but flew the plane well enough. 

This will be an intersting experiment since the plane is the same one I used
with the 160. Ed Alt is compiling data for a future KFactor article

The ZDZ40 is still in the works for me. Mine will make weight but I agree,
the engine system is heavier than it should be

Sorry, John,

Matt's not the only one working on a gas pattern plane.  I've been working
on 
one for a year now.  OS160 converted to gas with a ProSpark ignition.  I
just 
about have the kinks worked out of the system.  The Syssa looks pretty heavy
to 
me, that's why I abandoned trying the ZDZ40 and went with the OS160.

That's one of the nice things about living in New Jersey: you don't have to
go 
far to fly with Pattern Legends! Living in Connecticut is another story. I
don't 
want to tell you what happened at my field this weekend...  LOL

Jeez Matt, you gave away your secret weapon plans. Now everyone will be
building 
a gas Pattern plane for next season! VBG

  Getting my Enigma original design outfitted with the new Syssa 180
gasoline 
engine. The soft mount build has just been completed and retrofitting on the

firewall just done. It just  needs servos and it will fly next weekend
weather 
permitting

  On Ed Alt's suggestion, we went to fly with legendary pattern competitor,
Jim 
Martin. I first saw him fly 40 years ago, flying his Banshee design in a
manner 
I had never seen before. Extremely fast, right on the deck, with extreme 
precision. He was twice my age back then and being a rank beginner and shy,
it 
never occured to me to approach him just to talk. Well, 40 years later, I
got 
the chance. What a nice man... one very interesting thing to me being of 
Armenian decent, he told me that he also is of Armenian decent. That's
pretty 
cool to me

  He explained that he has a new version of his famed Banshee in a more
current, 
much better done fiberglass/foam configuration that he intends to electrify.

That should be cool.

  MattK
