Ha Ha !! not even I'm that crazy!!

To be more accurate I think the contact was when removing the glow igniter. Still really not sure how I got into that position as it caught the base of my little finger.

Main needle tuning always when running. Low speed for me is a trial and error as (usually) a bit more fiddle to get to.

They do bite and bite hard. Tuning my 70 and the thing didn’t even stop!

Sadly the weather has been pretty bad for the best part of the last couple of months so not flown for a while... but then Ive not flown anything! After its refurb it hasn't missed a beat. We're coming into the prime conditions for flying so it will get a lot more airtime.

ahhhh Jon shes purring like a kitten. You were up front with your reservations and I'm a happy customer.

1 I'd love a laser radial of a size to power a 1/4 stearman or Waco 2 Please keep the singles going Great size for a simpler sport model 3 re Glow/Petrol I'm impressed by the reliability of the Lasers. I like my Saito petrols but they do have some reliability issues. Had 2 5-6min flights yesterday with the 200i in my H9 Vans. It didnt miss a beat and probably used less than 300ml fuel (paid $15AUD for 2litres so not too costly) Also a couple of flights with myLaser 80 powered Antic as the conditions were so nice for a slow float around the sky.

According to the construction manual Ailerons 15mm each way Elevator 15mm Each way Rudder 50mm each way of a 10mm right rudder at neutral CG 65mm back from LE middle should be 3deg nose down Ted

Good to see another in progress. Mike, your situation is virtually the opposite of mine. I have an engine with acres of space around it. Your solution will be very helpful when I get mine in the Tiger Moth.

As per Jon's suggestion the air will be directed to the upper right side of the engine bay and exhaust psat some minimal baffleng around the engine. Left upper cowl will be blocked off hence the need for the duct.

Martin its printed in clear PLA. I will paint with resin as its just tacked in place with CA at present. I had to flatten the side exit a little so heated with a heat gun (protecting the cowl with cloth and hope!) managed not to melt the cowl. I cant take credit for the CAD enlisted my enginering student daughter to do that.

I printed a cooling duct to take air from the left side intake

Received my 200i test engine today! Started surgery on the H9 Vans RV4 .

Looks like fun was had!

I was given the wheels by a friend leaving the hobby. I suspect they were Topflite but cant be sure. I built form plans but I dont think the kit (if you can get one) includes wheels.
