Anthony is painting a huge mobile crane at the moment…guess what colour the crane is!

Flew again last Friday. Now trimmed out. I’ve bought a 15x8APC to see if I can get some more performance out of it. Waiting for Anthony to do his magic with paint

Always had it. Also I’ve lost a lot of the high frequency hearing in my right ear. I can’t stand being in a room with loud talking, drives me mad, as I cannot concentrate on the person speaking to me..

I’ve go it powered by a DLE55 and canister. Almost unlimited vertical. Cg spot on with no elevator needed on inverted flight.

I’ve just been out with his 30% Cap 232. It’s no 3D machine, it’s mighty heavy by today’s standards but it’s a lovely stable big airframe. No tendency to snap at all, just great for big loops, 1/2 Cubans etc.

Flew it today! Considering I had no idea the rates, it did land. The engine needs a touch more down thrust. Anyway on the second landing the tailwheel snapped. No big deal as it a cheap nasty one I had in my box of bits. New one on order as well as a 16x8 apc prop. Tried a 16x6 but it wouldn’t take off. Anyway, more reports when the new tailwheel is installed. The cg was on plan which was ok but a handful if you’re not ready for a sudden dip of the wing when turning without rudder. The stall was just a simple starboard wing drop but nothing violent or on going.

All ready, engine run again today. I hope to maiden it tomorrow. Cg is on plan, triple rates are a guess!

You’re a great ambassador for the Stampe Bert🙏

Checking cg today. With both battery packs on the firewall, it was slightly nose heavy at plan. Interplane struts need a sanding then it’s almost ready for paint. The cowl turned out better than my first thoughts
