care what happens to them. :) Next time try some blenders and
walls. Fly it like you rented it! I like to do knife-edge figure 8's
with my Shocky. Wouldn't dare try that with my Focus! Hey - any chance you
might come up to the CT Pattern Primer next Sunday? There are going to be a
LOT of Sportsman guys but I don't think there will be too many in
Intermediate. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>I just put a Brio 10 together this week and test flew it today. I used
the E-flight 10 motor with the 40 Amp speed controller. Pull pull rudder set
up and a 2200 Lipo with 15C output. On the initial flight the wheels locked
up trying to take off from grass. Some mods to the retaining screws and back
to try again. I decided on a hand launch from Ron Lockhart instead. It
porpoised like crazy and I had a few moments of agita until holding
half up elevator calmed it down and landed. I found that I hadn't tightened
the elevator retaining screw enough and it was holding about 15% down
elevator on its own. Fixed that and back for try number three. Three was the
charm. A couple of clicks here an there and it locked in very nicely. Pretty
much started doing Intermediate pattern right away then on to Advanced. Nice
Avalanches. Kept going vertical forever. Decided to land after about 6
minutes. No problems. Checked for any meltdowns and all was cool. Battery
about 105 and con! troller cold. I had some older 2100 Lipos with me but
soon found that the discharge rate was to too small for the plane so the
next flight didn't have the same authority as with the new advanced Lipo. It
is a little nose heavy right, balances about 3 and 7/8 inches back from
the leading edge, but I have room to cut off the standoffs and
move the motor back and tweek some other stuff and get another new
battery but other than that I think I have a new easy to take with me
practice plane. Of course Dave L started doing rolling circles with it so I
know it can do that to. Just wanted to share the experience. Joe Z
