I ended up with a BY&O 12-5 prop. Now to the King Orange Internationals.

After a rough start, I managed to pull off a good second flight to take second place in intermediate.

That's nice, congratulation Phil!

I did a major job freeing up the flaps, touching up the paint, and retaping the flap hinge gaps. The next flight should be interesting.

Fronkensteen 4 flies radically better. It needs more paint work.

Fronkensteen 4 now has an XOAR 12 x 4.

Since the plane needs nose weight anyway, I am considering adding some real power to it. I have 2 choices, an OS 45 FSR, or a newly converted Evolution 46. Problem is, once mounted, there is no turning back.

Garf get together with the guise from Florida they will teach you a lot of stuff. I believe there is a club that flies CL in Miami.
Put any of them in the plane and go fly. You can contact me directly and I will answer your questions.

I put up 3 more flights today and ended with a yard dart.

that's one expensive yard dart...

Fronkensteen 4 now has an XOAR 12 X 4 prop. It works pretty well.

I tried to fly the Fronkensteen 4 today. I got the engine to fire once. That was it. Back to the shop. It has been sitting for 6 months.

It seems the starting battery had given up when trying to start this thing. Next outing with a fresh battery, It was rough starting due to old castor in the system. Once it started, it settled down to its normal great run.

I finally wrecked this thing. Lost it in the sun and the wind caught it. Broken spar and leading edge, both broken under the fuselage, plus the fuselage cracked on top just aft of the doublers. This leaves me with no decent stunt planes.
