Stunt Coma

Stunt Coma
I have a severe case of it.
I am having a great time practicing for the OTS contest in Tulsa this Sept, problem is When I start practicing I am so in the zone that I forget how long I have been flying and run out of fuel at the worst times. I have doinked the plane at least five times in the past three days. Luckily the ground is soft from all the recent rain.
I think I need a 1oz tank as I can't get through the pattern.

Re: Stunt Coma
Are there rules for the size of the tank for the contest? What size tank you have now?

Re: Stunt Coma
Stunt practice is being done with 1/2A. The full size Ringmaster will be used for the contest. So I can put any tank I want on the Baby Clown.

Re: Stunt Coma
Why not put one of those bladders with the Texas Timers cone on it. And if you don't evacuate it before you fill it, you get two laps of warning. Just don't pump any extra air in. But you can put 8 or more minutes of fuel into an inch long bladder. Let me know if you decide to do it, skip my video and PM or call me for easy tips. One of them will last a lot of flights.

That's what I need to do however, the Medallion pulls it really well right now. Almost too well. To run pressure I would need to go TD. I have all the stuff to do it just feel the TD is too fast.
On the other hand I could give it a try and see what happens. I also could use the contest TD and rack up some time.

Re: Stunt Coma
You could put the TD carb body on the Medallion. It should still run about the same.
