| Engine tuning ongoing... Now this little 1.6 liter VW is pulling 122 kg (270 lbs) / 2900 RPM static with 150/65 cm ( 59/26 in) prop. Its 1/3 of flying weight with one on board and 1/3.5 of max flying weight. This is enought but I'm not waiting superior climbing speed... | |||||||||||||||||||||

I will add some info when I have more time, but first flight went well, some adjustments must be made ie. tightening the aileron wires, carburetor jettings, rigging for stabilator...
