Folks, Three SAM 117 members (Poole, McIntyre and Hiner) flew today at the SOAR Old Grove Road field today. Our second day this March flying at this field. Today's high temp: in the 50's. Two weeks ago, in the upper 40's. Both days wind: less than 10 mph. First flights on Glen's Speed 400 Twin Cyclone. I made the first and only flight on this new model. Needs some trim and radio changes before next flights. Original size of this design by a Fort Wayne modeler. Glen plans on flying this model at a Fort Wayne SAM contest this year. Here is the photo with Glen holding his new model. Two weeks ago, McIntyre took some photos of the Anderson Pylon built for me by Burkart and McIntyre. 99-inch wingspan with geared Neu motor. 21/14 carbon fiber propeller 11 pounds 6 ounces. Klarich kit & John Pond plans. Long tail and large wood sizes. Twelve 2500 mAh Nicds for the motor. Heavy powerful servos. Two-piece wing and large radio battery. Jack Hiner

 Folks,

  

Great morning for first flight on new model.  A little after sunup temp around 60 F.  Cloudy with light and variable wind down low.  Light Southerly flow at altitude.

  

Meaghan test flew Glen's new Record Hound.  It flew well.  I took a couple pictures with one attached to this email.  Then I flew my Racer II for E-Texaco.  30 minute flight.

Record Hound

Meaghan did a really good job! Wow price of magnets went up ??? Hmm…….

Gotta finish covering now, paint the cowl and cover the wing. We will SEE!

Thermals Glen

 I will bring Glen's Record Hound (Hog) as I have the cowl completed.

Final cost is $130.00

I had to do some modifications on the front.

I added some down thrust and side thrust.

Made a ballast box (spot glued it in a few places for additional nose weight)

Extended the box the motor mounts to.

Elongated the hole where the motor stick out of and made sure the prop clears the cowl.

Made a shelf for the battery pck to sit on verses the pack hanging on by velcro under the motor.

If Glen dosen't like it, he can remove the battery shelf as I only spot glued it in a few places.

But "IF" it is acceptable, Glen will have to finish glueing the shelf into place.

Attached are photos of the finished cowl.
