Titan T-51 now flying in California!

After some trials and tribulations, Lady Elaine is now flying in California.
Here Elliot Seguin is taking her for a test flight after installation of her new prop speed reduction unit. Thanks, Elliot!

Plane is now written off. Glad no one was hurt!

I was watching anxiously thinking, "he's going to do it, do it!" (hoping for the classic P51 takeoff at the end of the runway). loved it.

What a sound!

[@Mike-01234]

They wired the gear motor fuse into the engine computer system fuse both using one fuse. The landing gear hydraulic pump failed and shorted out causing the fuse to blow engine quit when Elliot was flying had to belly land. Probably total loss to the airframe prop was bent up lot of money tied up in those big adjustable props. Not sure why they would not have the gear and engine management system on their own fuse.

[@coolhand1964]

Tail comes up awful quick, that big ass propeller obviously pushes a lot of air over it.

Did you replace the stock reduction unit or go with something different or? Thanks

[@Pantdino]

Long story regarding the prior reduction unit. This is another one which is essentially the same but a 2.2 ratio rather than the 1.9 of the original. Both are Autoflight out of New Zealand.
