Engine test in the backyard

The Synergy is now ready for take-off. I tested the relatively old OS 140Rx today. It started right away. It is equipped with a Hatori 900 pipe. I did not have the chance to run the engine for more than a couple of minutes, but so far - so good. I am going to use a APC 18x10 sport propeller. The all-up weight ended up being 4650 grams. Not bad at all.

Temptation - ready for paint

The temptation is now ready to be painted. I have not yet decided on a color scheme for the fuselage. Any suggestions?

ZN-line Synergy restored - almost

I am almost done restoring the Synergy. The wing is now finished. As you can see from the pictures there is a gap between the bottom of the wing and the engine cowling. I assume this is due to a slightly different/thinner wing profile than the original wing. I will have to build a small balsa wall to fill the gap.

Angel S50E test flight

I took the first two flights with my Angel last week. All I can say is: "Wow, I`m converted" I really enjoyed the extra power this setup has. The throttle curve needs some modification though. I also have to enable the brake. I am really looking forward to flying this plane....
