<DIV>No model flying at all tomorrow in Jax. Our field is
quarrantined due to the Stuper Bowl. Within 30 miles of the stadium,
everything is pretty much down. Tried to go downtown for the NFL Experience
tonight but things were so bad, I turned around and came home. Seems
there are a million people there boozing it up--should have been a
blast.</DIV>

<DIV>I was more concerned with it launching through this thin cowl into the
cow pasture =) I can hold my own a little, but MAN talk about a balance
issue!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tore up the inside of the cowl, the nose ring mount tabs, the throttle
linkage, cracked the chin cowl in several places, and shook every screw in the
plane loose. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BUT.....it's still on my wall charging for tomorrow =) And yes Cameron, I
tightened the bolts before you even say it =P</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I must be the luckiest guy alive. After 4
flights my engine became erratic. After landing I noticed a black streak
of soot trailing from the chin cowl. Upon removing the chin cowl, I
discovered that the entire mount would rotate completely in either
direction, all the way till it hit cowl.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Took it apart, discovered that 3 of 4 bolts
came loose that hold the mount to the firewall, and the last one was
holding by 3 threads. It did a lot of damage, but after an all afternoon
shift, it's ready to go again in the morning.</FONT></DIV>
