Taken for this, question just got my own late at night. Was yours pretty free flowing on the ground when you tried to move it around ? With out the pw attached ? My own seems to have the bristles of the brush dragging on one ground
Any reason you didn't lean out to max rpm? I know you dial in to slightly rich four stroking so in flight it leans up climbing but sounds like you set it up a bit fat on purpose...
Nice video, Looked a bit "Breezy". Gotcha Streak is a great model, been flying mine for about 8 years, great stunt trainer capable of flying "The Book". Yours seems to have all the same repairs as mine. 🤣
I'm 75, and built and flew about five kit models ..plus some self-designed, made-from-scratch models.. this brings back many memories .. I had a "Thunderbird" stunt airplane (a Veco kit ??)..it had flaps working in opposition of the elevator, and a cowled, inverted mounted McKoy 35. I had a Cox .020, a .049, McKoy .19, .29 (really great motor !), .35, Fox .15, and a pesky,1 hp Fox Combat Special (with pressurized tank system (hard to start, but boy!! when it did ....!! Even experimented with free flight.. losing one Cox .020 over the horizon.. Great memories 1959 - '63 (Jamaica)
