    3DHS Tennessee Fly-Low-In - August 15-18, 2013 Knoxville, TN

    Field trip to the Fly Low just got approved by our Principal :) Approval was tough because it was only the 3rd day of school. We'll be there on Friday morning. I'm not sure how many students will go because they will be providing their own transportation. It was too early in the school year...

    DA-60 issue

    About 4-6 min into the flight engine starts burbling (not sure if it's missing or 4-stroking) in mid range and at full throttle. It is a new DA-60 with about a gallon through it. It runs and transitions perfectly on ground and in the air for the first 4 min or so. Landing temperature is 230 F at...

    3DHS Tennessee Fly-Low-In - August 15-18, 2013 Knoxville, TN

    Still planning to be there. I should be bringing some students this year. I'll bring a trainer and buddy box in case someone would like an orientation flight. It'll be warm, but one of the best flying months for no wind!

    3DHS 87" Extra 300 SHP

    Still working on my blue SHP. My first gas build so it's going a little slow. I messed up the throttle servo linkage...have to make a shorter arm. My build is also competing with preparing a house for moving this weekend. It's hard to concentrate on moving when all I want to do is finish...
