NJ,

I'm running a Firepower 46 in my 51" Slick, Gary got it for me from Heads Up. It hauls the Slick around with purpose using a 15x7 Xoar. Maybe not quite a DM-3615 but not too far off and worth considering at the price.

The 15x7 over amps it compared to the official spec but I've been running it that way for a year and it's been fine so far, runs cool enough according to the telemetry.

I have a FirePower 46 in my Pilot Yak 53". Very, very nice motor! I think I'm spinning a 15x6 on that one, though. Can't remember exactly what prop I stuck on that one.

Knowing you, not enough prop

I know. I'm a wimp. I fly like a grandmother.

I thought you only flew like that on RF

I'm ready to catch the sickness! Now all I need is for good weather and some time to spare at the same time...

Actually, the weekend looks great. 75-80F, mostly sunny, 5-15 mph. But apparently I'm supposed to be with the family on Father's Day. Penny asked me what I wanted, but "to be left alone for a day" apparently wasn't an appropriate Father's Day gift...

Tell her that you want to go to the field and be with your friends. That way your not left alone. LOL

If they really want to honor you and celebrate your day "your way" they will come to the field and have a picnic with you. Imagine the romance of sitting on a nice plaid blanket with your wife and daughters enjoying a nice meal from the picnic basket as your buddies perform cyclones above you with full smoke on!

Well, maybe you could at least convince them to bring stuff to grill at the field?
