    Firsat trip out was a disaster-gctid385919

    Well, NEW BEGINNINGS! had her first trip out on Sunday and it lasted 20 minutes. I thought something was wrong when the steering was pulling HARD to the right, it never did before. I was trying anew set of B 3's. It appears that I forgot the spacer between the props for the rearward prop. The rear prop was pretty chewed up because of this. However, my mentor, Mr. Rick (aka 2850 Bounty) talked me through it and I got my old set of B 2's back on and I was able to make a second attempt at the first trip of the year with success. I do not know how I missed the spacer, but as they say, crap happens.

    Again, THANK YOU RICK for your guidance. The honorarium is in the mail! op
