Well I finally got the Staudacher 300 GS in the air today. :bigplane: Yup...you were right Frits it's a handful for a beginner like myself, but FUN to fly!! ;) :thumbup: I'm learning to respect those who fly a plane for the first time before it's been trimmed out. Things can happen in a hurry!! :lol: For those that remember, this is one of the planes that John Kenna had up for sale a few months back. The YS 91AC engine would act up and I just didn't feel comfortable putting it in the air until I felt I could trust it. (It makes small air bubbles in fuel line between the regulator and the carburetor when the engine idles). I've tuned it the best I can, and the engine's still not perfect....but it runs. In fact it didn't deadstick any today. I was sure happy about that! :thumbup:

I'm hoping that maybe I could enlist the help of some of y'all who know YS engines to take a look at it.... again?? :hmm: :rolleyes:

Hey look :yickes: I know whats wrong with that engine. Now I ain't the sharpest pencil in the cup but I do know that from lookin at your picture there's a piece of cardboard/ductape/cameltoe :hysterical: or somethin hangin out the exhaust. hades even I know you got to have your exit open. :fullmoon: No charge to my best buddy, but don't expect me to be so knowledgeable about everything. Just kidding I knew you could to propman......YOU DA MAN !!!!!!!!!

Yep. I was there and witnessed it all.
Propbuster did a masterful job of trimming and flying.
Russell had a new hero to worship. ;) :P
