    3W Ignition timing manual

    @wingburner, did you get a 3w ignition? If you did, the pdf file that is attached to the first post explains how to time the engine. It is TOTALLY different than a C&H or RCExcel ignition. I put a RCExcel on my 106 and the engine is running like it has never ran before other than some minor carb...

    number of flips...

    3W-150 TOC 4-5 flips on choke, 3-4 and running 3W-106 3-4 flips on choke, 4-5 and running DA-60 2-3 flips on choke, 3 and running, this was when I had the engine. It was one of the best starting engines I have ever owned. I do not run mine dry. Used to, but found that the carb sometimes would...

    @Terryscustom that does look strange at 90 degrees :) Great job on the hinges! Can't wait to see them finished. Are you going to put some sort of finishing line on the vertical stab or leave it so you can get a full 90 if you decide to down the road?

    @Xpress 5mph is breezy??? We were flying with 8-12 direct crosswinds last night for a while. Not as much fun as 5, but we still fly because this time of year we are just itching to get the sticks moving again :) It did die down about 30 minutes before sunset and made for some fun flying at the...

    That's ok Rob. Just dream about flying, that will soothe the mind until it can actually happen :-) I did fly the 42 center today a couple times. Man that is such a sweet flying plane. I even hovered at about 15 feet a couple times! That is the lowest I have ever done that. It was cool seeing...

    Went out for some therapy tonight and found out the liions in the Extra are toast. Lasted 5 flights before they were at 7 volts. They are 5200 Fromecos, 2 of them and a 2600 on the ignition. I was just happy to get some use out of them. The original owner had let them get dead and when I threw...

    First Gasser Maiden!!!

    Congrats on the maiden. I would say sorry to drag you into this addiction, but I can't, it is just way to much fun. 4 years ago all I flew was glow. Once I got my first gasser, the thrill of the glow, other than the smell :-), was gone. Just something about throwing a gasser in the air that...

    Real Flight 7.5...

    Was still light enough to fly until about 7:25 here. Then I had to put the planes away so I didn't get home until around 8:15, then it was time to eat :) I had been at the field since 1:30 :)

    Telepathy.... I will the plane to do something and it does it. Use the force, but if the force isn't there it helps to wiggle the sticks :)

    Made it out again today for some more flying. Overcast skies all day which made seeing the Extra really fun :) but got 4 flights on the 42 center and 6 on the Extra. Quick way to kill a gallon of 98 octane :) My daughter got some pretty good shots of the Extra and then called it quits because...

    Went out tonight and got 2 flights on the 42 center and 4 flights on the Extra. Turned out to be a really nice night for flying. We will see what mother nature has in store for us tomorrow and hopefully get some more flying in. One thing for sure, I have to get the canisters on the Extra! When I...
