Sat 13th September, Westonzoyland.

Fine weather today, sunshine and light winds from the WNW. Flew the Pico Jet now fitted with uprated out runner motor, ESC and li-po. Superb performance, even vertical. In the IC section, I flew the Sunbeam trainer with a Super Tigre 40 engine swinging a 9x6 APC prop. Yes, I know its a bit small, and I've ordered a 10x6 and a 10x7 Master Airscrew. Should be here in time for my four day weekend. The engine is about 20 years old and never been used, so its "running in" rich settings for the time being. One thing I noticed is how noisy it is. I guess it was made before the surge to reduce engine noise.
