I’ll give Obama a pass on this one. Sarkozy’s head though swivels a bit too much. http://tinyurl.com/myxqfy

Earphone wire wrapped around Zen Stone Plus creates a Faraday Cage, blocking radio transmission. Will wrap excess wire with twist tie.

Gemini was diving at full throttle since I had put in a throttle/down elevator mix for the Slowstick previously bound to that receiver. Doh!

Maidened Multiplex Gemini at RSA

Posted on July 7, 2009 by Silicon Valley Dazed

I think there’s too much downthrust with the motor mount, and I had to use the rudder to move the plane toward the left during takeoff because of engine torque. There’s also some scraping of the spinner against the cowl, so I had to adjust that. The plane really floated in though for landings. I could see how some people might want a heavier engine with more power for this plane for 3D, but I’ll just fly it as an aerobatic plane for now.
