My latest project to finish. I built it for a fellow club member. Bought the kit for him in Owatonna, MN last August, finished about three weeks ago. Maiden was last Friday and she flew.....well.....like a BUSA kit! Austin said it had no bad qualities in the air. On thing that did go wrong was the canister connection came loose. We thought we had it fixed a few days later only to have it throw the connection between the header and canister off again. We're still head scratching that and have a higher heat rated connector ordered.

Yeah, that's my ugly mug with the plane. Pics were taken by Mike Pennell.

Here are the specs:

BUSA kit

Solartex covering 

latex paint (all hand painted)

Zenoah G62 with reduction gear drive (2.5 to 1)

34"x 20 prop

32 oz fuel tank

Williams Brothers wheels

Iflytailies guns and ammo feeds and ammo

Aces of Iron pilot

wing skids are scratch built

kit cowl with aluminum front customization

And....NO ADDED BALAST!!!  

It was on a day in between the over 9" of rain the last week and a half so the lights not great.
