Flight Log - 2016-10-29 - Eric Lofgren's Estes Jetliner

12/2016 First flight with a B engine went great; I would recommend this mod. I added back t' clay I took out (so I've used t' entire package) and its flight was stable.

11/2016 Every flight thus far has arced over and deployed inches above t' ground. Begad! A10 engines apparently are nay cuttin' it. Well, blow me down! I've ripped out t' engine mount and I am installin' an 18mm mount, me bucko, along with some extra nose weight. Hopefully a B engine will be enough t' get this into t' air.


9/2017 Windcocked into t' ground on a B6-4. Nay goin' t' repair.

2022 flew with no repairs on a C6-3, shiver me timbers, went fine.
