Even the prop rip sounds cool on that plane. Wouldn't it be nice if the field was out in the middle of nowhere and there was a sign up saying prop ripping is welcome. I love that sound

I doubt very few have actually heard a prop ripping and just simply mistake it for a "loud" prop. Two totally different things. If you want to hear a real prop ripping sound, ask Al to change the CF prop to a wooden one on his DA.... Dan

There is no grass here.... still 5' of dirty snow.

Why thank you for that DanT Roll Eyes

......actually that is exactly what I was referring to.... during 1 IMAC season Capt. Cool was on the receiving end of some harsh words from He Who Speaks as God Wink

for the ear bleeding rip his prop was emitting.....

yes indeedy, that P&W R1340, with all of 550 - 600 hp and a direct drive prop could surely churn up the noise level Smiley

...... a seeming high noise level for the 140 mph cruise Tongue

All right, back to the thread... as all ESM'ers know, this started out as a SNAFU. With my able assistance it soon became a FUBAR, but finally we arrived at TLAR. Lots of firsts on this plane for me, starting with retracts... However, we now have the surfaces to hinge and hook up, servos are in, find a place for the retract valve, fit the cowl, blah, blah, blah....
We are now at T.F. Bundy.

For me this is progress.... Cheesy
