Was blessed with perfect weather. Almost dead still air. Hope to get it again tomorrow. 
  Added an adjustable nose block. I think I put too much down thrust, not sure. The nasson clutch I made did not release, I still need to work on that whole thing. Not as smooth as I want.
   First real throw was 250 winds and all went well, except the clutch thing.  Next try was 450 or so and it sunk like a rock. I included a hand turned test flight in the vid just to compare.  It seems like more power, less altitude.
    My tail started to come loose so I packed it up and went home.

    Here's some news, I know Tom will think I've lost my mind, I quit my job.  As I predicted, the bottom fell out of what I was doing. Rates are horrible and there's no way they are coming back until after we are shed of Biden and his satanic ilk.  I knew the gravy train would run out of steam.   
It has reached a point where I can make almost as much locally and not leave my home for weeks at a time. I am tired of not being home anyway. It's  time to come home, like normal people do. LOL. Nights and weekends at home for awhile.
  I have to make 1 more loop to give my boss time to get a replacement, then I find something local. I leave this week.
  At some point I will post pics of sparkies nose and clutch on the sparky thread. 
   The Joker plane had a wing warp but I got it fixed, I think. Hope to test it soon.

Finally got some flight time. I think it needs more power to climb.
   The wind did not cause the weird climb and stall stuff, it just does it by it self, for no apparent reason. The wind was very light if any at all and steady in one direction. I launched with the wind, or it stalls and falls.
  I have 4 loops of 3/16.
1.25 times fuse length and braided to a proper length.

No vid of the jokers f190. I need to un warp the main wing, it turns too hard to the left, glide or under power.

I enjoy his videos too.  You know he uses rc rudder on his rubber powered models, right? That's how he keeps them inbetween the buildings and on the field.
