I’ve got a metering tool 👌 I forgot to say the engine is inverted

Here is a conundrum for all you petroleum heads🤔 New Stinger 10cc 2t petrol. Correctly run in. 20:1 fuel mix. Lovely idle runs forever in the air… However, needles adjustment are very sensitive and won’t come out of running 4 stroke, no matter what the needle setting is. BUT every time it lands the engine cuts, no matter how gentle. It’s not the opto isolated switch. Not the fuel mix ( Aspen used, correct mix). Plenty of ignition power. The timing will be double checked The club engineers are thinking there might be some muck stuck in the carb galleries or the metering needle is too high 🤔😊 Would love to hear any theories you might have Thanks ☺️

Still missed

I’ve read that the Flat Earth Society will be sponsoring a round the world race

All done. The idea is to put a couple of hatches in the top of the wing to aid installation and service

Wiring nearly complete on the port wing…

Good job it wasn’t 2 dozen puppies

Lovely video, Bert. I’m just thinking the way it took off and always had the tendency to fly upwards, give some thought about adding some down thrust. However, I understand it’s the maiden flight…excellently done sir

The engine was a 5 cyl Kinner radial.

I built a 1/4 scale one about 10 years ago and put a 7 cyl radial in it. I still fly it occasionally. I can’t give you any specific details about yours, only to say mine is a handful in flight…well not a handful but you must use coordinating rudder/ aileron in the turns and always keep a little bit of power on on landing. Perhaps it’s because mine has a high wing loading. There is not much known about these planes as there were only 6 ever built and used as two seat trainers in the ‘30s. They all crashed, the last one was converted into a crop duster but crashed in the ‘50s. I built the crop duster version. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-Western_P-2_Meteor

Blip the throttle as you come in. Keeps the air moving over the tail and just stretches the glide to stop it dropping out of the air. Lovely build. Machine guns 💪 please

Progress….port wing here, starboard wing not far behind.

Damn figure trouble🙈
