A friend of mine down in Cottage Grove Oregon flew his IO-360 powered Acroduster Too for the first time.
Dave You can add another Acroduster Too too the Starduster flying fleet. I finally finished it and on 10/3/15 my test pilot Sean Vanhatten took it aloft for about 40 min. It didn't fly hands off but the tweaks are minor. The main concern was that the static port is somehow getting a bubble of air pressure rather than picking up boundary layer pressure. Caused the VSI to show about 700 ft descent while picking up takeoff speed. Pilot said his GPS was showing about 125 kts but indicated airspeed was only about 100 mph at 5500 ft. I think Jim Osborne addressed this problem in the magazine and I will pursue the fix. Let me know what data you would like for your files. Ray Morse N750RM
