This week's exhibition.
The sky is clear blue with a steady 6 mph breeze and I have two airworthy stunt planes ready to go. A third if I rebuild or swap engines and fly the Li'l Satan tomorrow. The Stuntman23 should perform stunningly and the Li'l Jumpin Bean has an auxiliary wedge tank feeding the Black Widow. Experimental, but it should work for a little extended time. The video cam has an empty card and a full charge.
I will report back this evening.

Re: This week's exhibition.
I got in a few good flights with the Bean and the Stuntman. Both behaved well and didn't break anything. I hope to get out for a couple more tomorrow. I'll stitch a video together. I had to watch the SEC and then the ACC conference championships tonight. That's College football for those who aren't into that sort of thing.

Re: This week's exhibition.
Lol, I kinda thought thats why I didn't see you post anything tonight. I watched the B1G Championship, great game. I'd like to see Ok. St. get a shot at LSU, but probably won't happen.
Re: This week's exhibition.
I'd like to see the Gamecocks get a shot at the Huskers. It's been mentioned.
Tomorrow I want to fly the Stuntman again. I think I need to get used to the needle adjustment. I thought I set it rich enough, but I don't know if I was too lean or too rich. When I got home, one of the three venturi orifices looked like it might have been partially blocked. I should get an in-line fuel filter. When it finally kicked in the last few laps it really pulled the lines tight, a good feeling, and I managed to get one crisp loop in before it ran dry. I was using a 5.5x3 prop. I might use a 5.25x4 tomorrow. That ought to speed it up. I flew a lot of inverted laps and the bladder performed well. I'll get the kinks worked out soon.
I'll try to get some more video tomorrow. I want to take the Li'l Satan for a spin too.

Re: This week's exhibition.
Okay here is this weekend's video. I did some flights of the Jumpin' Bean and the Stuntman Saturday.
It was my first flight with my new Texas Timers bladder system on the Stuntman. I'm still learning to get the right needle for engine performance in the air and it sputtered a bit but it has its moments. I had fun
I finally got the TD screaming and did some super snappy stunts on Sunday, but I screwed up recording the videos. Unfortunately I didn't get any of those on the camera. But I did get an average flight. So here it is:
