color=#0000ff size=2>Next Aug there will be another BPA contest in Huntsville
AL., It was allot of fun this year even with the 100+ temp to put down the 2m
plane and pick up a old 60 size and just fly for fun. For me the joy was getting
beat by Don Lowe try as I might not to, the smile on his face the whole
weekend was priceless. And of coarse watching Jason put my XLT through a
SLOOOOOOOOOOOW role down the runway very low to the ground was great also. We
(I) am not looking to replace my AMA flying,it is just relaxing to break out an
old design after the rigors of practice and flying in the nats and just go fly
and hang out not that flying AMA isn't fun but the self imposed pressure just
doesn't seem to be there for me.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Atlanta</st1:place></st1:City> came out in the
late 80’s and was designed for AMA or now Ballistic Pattern. Initially
mine was set up for a standard short stroke YS 60, Hattori pipe (627 I think),
and Rev-Up 11-7 or so. Eventually I went to a longer pipe setting and
higher pitch prop to cut back on noise. D&W (remember them) 11-9 wide.
I still have a bunch. Same speed but less noise as the early noise
regulations came into effect. Home made soft mounts on the motor as
well. A Dean Pappas design. I do not think commercial ones were
available yet.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

around I remember trying to slow the plane down. Some people who were much
better at throttle management than I (I only had a two position throttle) were
able to make the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Atlanta</st1:place></st1:City> “work” in turn around. The engine
was changed to a pumped OS 60 long stroke, Hatori 650 pipe and full length
header. And, of course bigger props. Currently an Asano 11½ -
11½ sits on there. <BR><BR>I must have cleaned the engine out before
storing it. Last time it flew had to be around 1991 or 92. I also
took it apart earlier this year when I went over the plane. Took quite few
turns of the prop to get fuel through the pump and into the carburetor but
it started on the second backwards snap. Talk about impressing the couple
of guys at the field. It hadn’t run in 15 years and started right
away. Once the high speed needle was adjusted it ran perfectly as
well.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

received comments on how smooth it looked. More so than my current

plane at jet like speeds doing rolling maneuvers is different from our current
flying. Made me wonder if people were more impressed and therefore more
attracted to the old style pattern than the current
one?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
