<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi All,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've done very little flying or even
looking at pattern equipment over the last 4 months (since D3 champs contest)
due to a heavy work load. Two weeks ago I flew 2 flights, and yesterday
I flew about 7 flights. After I located all my tools again and got
to the field, I have some observations about the equipment and setup:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. Transmitter li-ion battery
is not holding charge the way it used too when I was flying and charging
more often.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. Header coupler broke (fixed
now and added additional header support)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3. Webra 160 w/ MC carb: tuning
changed dramatically. After unsuccessfully screwing with it for a
while, and Instead of chasing down the ghosts of this system (mostly created
by my lack of use of it I think), I switched to a Webra 1.45 carburetor
and disabled the mixture servo. The 160 runs fantastic on the 1.45
carburetor. No pump adjustments were necessary. Uplines had
continuous rolls from takeoff. I think given the lack of available
time right now, I'm going to stick with the simpler setup.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">4. The plane flew fantastic. All
the control rates seemed great. CG seemed just fine. Mixes
and conditions were all right on. I'm glad to discover that after
a while of not flying, that the plane still felt great. I think it
means that the setup is user-friendly and the plane (Ken's Aggressor),
has good tendencies in it!!!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Unless work interferes, I plan on going
to the Ocala contest. See ya there.</font>
