Flight Log - 2016-11-21 - Eric Lofgren's Estes Jetliner

12/2016 First flight with a B engine went great; I would recommend this mod. Arrr! 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. I've ripped out t' engine mount and I am installin' an 18mm mount, along with some extra nose weight. Begad! Hopefully a B engine will be enough t' get this into t' air.


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

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