It burned like a stove for about 3 hours, but continued to burn down for about 8 hours.

@@mrtbrocks5664 I fly out of PA01 Linesville PA, I was flying about 20 miles east, over Blooming valley PA, when my engine died. I had just taken off from a friend's field, had leveled and reduced to cruise. About 5200 rpm. About 1 minute later the engine died. I had a 1,000' altitude so, with nothing but forest ahead, it was no problem turning back to a hillside field that I had just passed. The landing was rather typical since I normally come in high and do a spiral forward slip to the end of the runway. But being dead stick I had to be very precise.

@@timketcham9139 Good job! I was at PA01 for the first time last month to a fly-in, with a blue and white Maule. Maybe we met. There was one ultralight airplane pilot I met there on Sunday, his aircraft a light green color. Most pilot-attendees it seemed that weekend were paramotor pilots.

@@mrtbrocks5664 my prop had delaminated the day before, Saturday morning, so I didn't come back out. That was Frank Szabo from West Middlesex ~30 miles south.

Glad you are okay!

Plane ok ?

@@007mwn oh my goodness yes. With the 277 I couldn't even set my phone in the holder until I got above 3500 RPM. This is so smooth.

@@Armilite1 277 is about 13# lighter

@@jm32145 not much, really didn't want to talk about it. He finally asked me how long ago I bought it. When I said 2 years ago he chuckled.

@@ininkus I do still use it. I have restored planes 34 years old and their T88 bonded joints remain strong. But now I buy the smaller bottles so as not to let it get crystallized. Perhaps I brought my old bottle to my hanger and overnight it chilled. I'm not sure. But their engineers claim that warming it makes it all good... I didn't show that. It was still strong, and I must add that I use commercial white ash and that makes it more difficult to pass a stress test.

@@keithschneider6348 I believe it was 30 hp

Surprised I never encountered a bounce.

I built my FP202 in 1 year 2 months. But that's very quick, especially for a build from Prints. It takes most people several years.

If you looked straight onto the front of the leading edge, the root was perfectly straight and square from the main spar to the trailing edge... But the rear spar had slid to the left ¼".

I'm with you. From the video I have no idea which frame is showing what is wrong. Is the rear spar issue north to south, or east to west? I don't understand why the ribs are being cut loose if it is merely slid past the end rib a quarter of an inch. Couldn't the end be trimmed off?

Friend request me on FB messenger if you use it. It's so much easier to communicate on . .oh yeah, I am Dedric Sorenson on FB... profile has me holding my grandson covered in mud

@@timketcham9139 will do tracy ingram

No washout in the FP series

It's really not necessary. The plane doesn't even hardly stall. And when it does descend rapidly, here comes down perfectly even.

I actually can't stall the plane. It will start descending rapidly, 500 ft per minute maybe

The secret is to do something every day. If it's only 20 minutes. Do it. I can't wait to see yours flying!

You gotta build one to fly in the winter.

@@timketcham9139 lookin at one that a little bigger. More power and can run skis if needed

Yes, but I haven't been very active with it. Working 11 hrs a day and spending much of my time flying every opportunity I can. Also, I'm working on the other wing which I have already documented pretty thoroughly.

@@timketcham9139 thanks for responding. I too am (finally) on my other wing. As I don't have any way to currently fly, I have no excuses but to keep working on it. I enjoy your videos; they give me hope 😀

@@dennispitz7488 that's what is getting me going again... Other people sharing their excitement of their build. And if I come to something I think is noteworthy, I'll make a video of it.

We are having a blizzard now. As soon as I can get to my hangar I will measure mine. But it won't be exactly the same for you. Unless we built our planes exactly the same, which is not likely. The length will be about 110" or 2,794 mm. (2.794 M) Your actual measurement for your plane is found by attaching the wings, and raising it 4" above level at the wing tip. Then measure the distance.

4" is 101 mm.

Also, there is a Facebook group Fisher Flying Products owners group where you can find lots of information.

Yeah, a long time ago...hmmmm, 68# if I remember correctly.

@@timketcham9139 thanks, i always like collecting real word info from real people ty

It is

I'm from Linesville, he sold it to me. My son and I flew it a couple of years. I sold it to a guy who wanted to learn to fly...he just sold it to someone in Texas.

Yeah, I went up to Springboro, then to Conneautville and then to pierpont... back to Linesville.

Do you fly around Meadville area?

Do you mean leaning?

If I have 3 gal of fuel I just sit straight...5 gallon I sit back a bit, 2½ gallon or less I lean forward a bit. Lean left or right.

Oh... that's my airspeed indicator tube...goes straight down in the center.

@@timketcham9139 my autopilot system is being trimmed so I can fly hands off.

PA01 Linesville Pennsylvania...20 miles south to lake Wilhelm...it used to be Fletcher field, now Lakeland.

Not consistent. Every 5-15 seconds. Reminds me of too rich of jetting but it's worse with smaller jet.

I did change the coil...changed it back to the original... going out in a bit to test it.

Any luck? Those Bing carbs, rattle and shake like crazy... how many hours on it? Getting worn on the needle jet so that it's not consistently getting the right mixture???

@@sawyersdad5292 well the fuel pump still looks brand new inside. I got all new fuel lines and filter. If that doesn't work... I don't know.

@@sawyersdad5292 it's been windy and raining daily so I haven't re-installed the new fuel lines and filter. Gonna be mud bogging if I wanna fly any time soon.

I removed them first and loosened the jamb nuts before I started the video.

Throw it away and if you continue with t88, buy it in small quantities.

@@timketcham9139 I think that would be the only strategy, thanks for this video.

@@timketcham9139 I received a return email quickly from system 3. They said crytalization does bot effect the resin in any way. So I am going to do some test pieces and see if my results are like yours.

Yeah, it didn't miss a beat till I was up... gonna drop the needle a notch and try in a few minutes.

Well I did need to come right back down, it had an occasional Miss once I got up there and I need to tweek that out.

Yeah, that's a single cylinder 2 cycle. It's a 277
