RE: TBM Shock Jet
Hey guys just a quick update on a few mods made on my shock after the maiden weekend. Was traveling the last two weeks but tested the changes before I left. I moved the CG forward since I started out a bit to far back, got a bit mixed up between the wings on wings off positions. Changed the throttle curve on my bee to linear thrust. I use throttle management a lot and having the huge increase in the last 25% of throttle travel did not feel good during the first four flights. Finally, chased down a small air leak since the UAT got more air in it than I consider acceptable after a few min of flight. Did one test flight on these mods before I left and really enjoying the SJ now. Hope to get more in this weekend. Love the bee, kero start is flawless so far and a really great match for the SJ. Cheers Andy

RE: TBM Shock Jet
Gerry, thanks for all your help. Sent you a pic on how I made a cut based on what some of our folks here did to make room for the FOD screen on the P60. That took care of both issues. Andy

RE: TBM Shock Jet
Hey guys, just moving along with my shock and realized today that the 92 Jet-Tech probably wont go in since I joined the fuse a while back. Any recommendations on how to install it without major surgery? Thx Andy

RE: Skymaster F-15 and short runway flying
Thanks! Btw, clamps had a bit of epoxi in them and one was stripped so I dremeled a small opening below to put on lock nuts from below. Worked like a charm! Andy

RE: Skymaster F-15 and short runway flying
Succesfull maiden and another flight today! Awesome plane, hope to have pics soon! Def the right thing to go to the 800ft runway for starters. Andy [:D][:D][:D][:D]

RE: Skymaster F-15 and short runway flying
so far I have them with the allen wrench sideways for leverage to where they hold but with effort can be pulled out a tad ~ 1mm or less Thank you! Andy

RE: Skymaster F-15 and short runway flying
Hope to get to fly her tomorrow. One last thing that bugs me a bit are the clamps holding the wings since this is the only thing without any backup. How hard do you tighten these? Andy

RE: Skymaster F-15 and short runway flying
Thank you, there is a 800ft field available at times too so that may be the safer option for the maiden. Thanks again!

RE: Skymaster F-15 and short runway flying
Hey guys, just about ready to maiden my Skymaster F-15. It got a P80SE in it, light weight, no flaps no ailerons but speedbreak. Our local fields are all 400ft hard surface. You think thats sufficient? Cheers Andreas
