Group,

 

   I am having so much fun with my Firefly I cant stand it any  longer.   I 

had Miss Bliss up for 2 hours  this evening. The wind  was knocking me around 

pretty good on takeoff and low passes, so I took her up  to 3000 ft and it was 

smooth and a good bit cooler but I was dressed for  it.  Tried out a little 

venturi I made to get the airspeed to read higher,  but it worked too well and I 

will have to work on an adjustment for it. Made 2  landings and bounced it a 

bit, but I had it at about 3500 RPMS as was suggested  by list members. 

Everything is still straight.  Those aluminum axles are  tougher than I was led to 

believe. I already made up 3 pair of 4130 axles and  had them heat treated, 

just in case.    I flew for 2 hours and  burned 3 gallons. Course I was only 

playing around. That Firefly climbs about  twice as fast as the Wizard I used to 

have. I now have 4 hours on it and I'm  still a grinnin !!!!
