So now that you have a few flights under your belt are you happy with the amount of power at 81lbs? Do you have to fly it with full throttle most of the time? I’m trying to decide Fiala Valach 250 or 420cc
@@terrys.20 the 250 works very well. Most of all the flight is at 60 to 70 percent throttle. I do have a 300 for her as an option for next season, but we will see. A 420 would be a bit much in my opinion but you may feel differently. I prefer a scale performance and so far so good. Currently I’m running a sep 28 x 18 four blade, may try a 29 x 16 next.
Excellent info Herb. Thanks! I thought the 420 might be too much and not enough prop clearance. Varioprop out of Germany makes a variable prop with replacement blades to attain exact RPM you are trying to get.
Gorgeous plane and flights! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome build and flights!
A couple of great flies !!!
That,s a beauty
Superlative aircraft and pilot’s scale flying skills. Beautifully done!!! Take offs and landings just don’t get any better. All the best.
Thank you very much!
Herb exceptional build and flying. Should be very proud.
