Have you put any time on that 461 yet?
I've only been using it, trying to get used to it, one or two tanks maybe. Three good sized dry hard mesquite spar removals and a little ash. I like it. Kinda heavy but a good solid durable feeling heavy. Part of it is the heavy 32" stihl bar. I'm gonna put my carbon fiber 30" on it, hopefully it will balance. Eventually I'll lighten the 32". I like the ergos - handle angles for felling. Will be interesting to see how accurate the sights are. Mostly like the torque/low rpm grunt. Next couple weeks as the temps drop it will get busy, I have tree jobs left from last winter and lots of logs. Then hopefully doing some real timber felling around thanksgiving.

Only dislike is the flippy cap pissed gas everywhere the other day. Debris in the seal maybe, need to inspect.

Looks like it's built to resemble a STOL aircraft.


It is. I am working on how to program reverse thrust without forward programming. I've never had one of these types of planes so I'm pretty excited to get it in the air and play around with it.

That should be interesting! I would enjoy watching you fly it. Am I correct in assuming that this plane has working flaps? They look to big to be ailerons. Or are they dual purpose?

That's a sweet little plane!

They are dual purpose right now. I need a few more channels on my receiver to do crow as well to make them tri purpose.


If you are ever in the st Louis area I'll definitely crash a few planes for you. I'll even hook up a second transmitter so you can fly too.

That's a sweetie there. You could clamp a big ol' saw in that vice.
Thanks, that is the plan, going to do a mini restoration first! Probably going to go back to standard wilton color, but it came from the Alcoa aluminum plant in Washington, and might have been originally Alcoa blue\ grabber blue, so a little torn on that

You get yourself an arm and blade for that powersaw yet, slacker?
