Hi guys,
Heres the first run from this morning no adjustments just threw her in to see how she handles.Runs stable and predictable,no trim tabs no fins either :}.Not a bad first run really especially in these conditions ,didnt run her flat out on this run as i was just getting used to it again after an 8 month layoff but i was very happy with how she handles :D.Modded zen 90 degree header,2" band ali pipe ,6717/3 prop,some cavitation on takeoff but once she bites she accelerates beautifully and very smooth too even in the turns without fins.Might install some fins later but i wont be bothering with any tabs,just not needed in my opinion.Ill be trying the 7015/3 prop also once ive got the motor dialed in with the new 929 carb.
