GP Ignition interference with Blue Bird Servos Resolved!
Over six months of research, testing, and conversing with Blue Bird Servos and Aviator Plus to isolate and resolve random 51/52 series servos twitching from GP Ignition Interference - We have derived several ways to overcome the adverse effect.
There is a lot of useful information throughout the video!
I'm especially grateful for the help of Joe at Aviator Plus for his extensive knowledge and support during my testing, along with the support from Blue Bird Servos, and several RC buddies that reached out and provided me with more information during the testing process.
I plan to make another video on how to change the spark plug cap resistor.
Notes:
Servos effected were prior to 10-2023 mfgr date and GP Ignitions late 2022- early 2023.
This does not mean that GP ignitions or Blue Bird Servos are bad, just means there was a compatibility issue with these two products and has been resolved by both companies.

Tailwheel ski is 3DPrinted and designed to slip over the 29mm wheel supplied with most 60E ARF's which is why I'm calling it a 60E Tailwheel Ski. It's been uploaded to thingiverse... your welcome!

FOGGY Timber 110 Flight

Freezing Fog Conditions! Pretty neat to see how the fog hit the leading edge wet and froze as it migrated aft after I landed. Epic slip at 4:15 to a one wheel touch in go is a highlight for me.

Another fun flying session with the 110" Timber that was cut short by some rain clouds moving in. No wind this time so landings were a bit quicker.

After some time of agonizing, then asking questions of the easiest way to install a new tire onto the rim. All the responses were similar and I had already tried most of them (eg: heat up the tire in hot water, soapy water, silicone, brute force, ect). After cutting my tire on the rim I came up with this idea. The thought came from installing O-Rings in groves as an aircraft mechanic - they mak...
