a_bab Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 Nice one, it wiggled it's way out the trees What fuel? it sounds like benny. Details about how it was kept? Desiccant ?
ronmoper76 Posted June 8, 2021 Author Posted June 8, 2021 Yeah i had a awful launch tube in the mud,i tried propping it up better but it was a little squirrely on takeoff,lol 76/23/1 Benz/Oxychloride/vaseline and the tubes were waxed as well. It was a dark color fuel so i'm pretty sure it had TIDI in it as well. I put a piece of duct tape over each end of the motor and placed them on a shelf so they were not disturbed or knocked around and that's about it. I have since omitted the oxychloride for for red iron oxide and TIDI for titanium sponge in my new ones and like them better. I realized they have plenty of power with plain red iron oxide and sound a lot better as well. I feel like the delay was a little short on this one,I never get it quite the same motor to motor and my height is a little low time to time.
