Jim's Nemesis thread shows what I love to be able to do. I did open the firewall and outlets on my Proud bird and made a balsa ramp to funnel air from the chin inlet upward to the opening of motor. It's a long winter up here, gotta do something to satisfy the BS that floats thru my head. Lookie-here...

I tried high timing once, first heat of last years NATS, big mistake. Man it was slowww. I would try it again on stock timing. I heard a noticeable difference changing it back. Cooling is key too.

Cost savings, or does it help slow speed stall? I've spent too much time sanding if that's the case....

I got my Proudbird done and flown this weekend. It needed 2, 3 clicks of down trim and away it went. The model rises off the ground without a fuss, straight and true. I flew the course and after a few clicks of right rudder, I had it tracking wonderfully around the course holding knife edge with eas...
