    Nice workmanship Craig. You make this builder feel like a lazy bum. As far as things coming loose, if it can, it will. BB MkIII, tucked away for the season.

I found that if one does not closely control the wire flex next to the connector, they will, in time, vibrate in two. You may want to consider laying a soft piece of tubing across and above the wires to keep them vibrating relative to the connector. Jack B. Hart FF004 Winchester, IN

    I like to collar the joint with shrink tube. Looks nice, is waterproof, and reduces flex. BB On 9, Nov 2008, at 11:27 AM, Jack B.

    Thats good news Bill. I am sure the 377 will work out fine for me.

    The other side of the limit is what will the cage hold in a crash. The reason the army stopped buying Wright aircraft was that too many trainees were killed in relatively light crashes when the engine tore loose from its mounts and crushed them.

    From: "grantr" <grant_richardson25@yahoo.com>
    Here are some more numbers from my gps today 11/9/2008. My average full power climb rate according to the gps during takeoff was from 560 to 578 feet per minute at an average ground speed of 41.7 miles per hour. Indicated climb out of 60mph. The plane stalls at 41 indicated. Gross weight full fuel on takeoff 735 pounds Temperature was 64 degrees during 4 pm with 9 mph winds gusting to 15 at 280o. I was using runway 23 so it was a good crosswind. field elevation around 460msl I reset my gps to make more measurements. During climb out it took 57 measurements in 5250 feet. Not sure why I am 100 fpm short. I think I might have used 55mph indicated in the smoother air from last time on climb out.
