Flying the Dolphin – S8E19

This week we join the guys as they discuss Jim’s new Dolphin gas airplane. As you may know version one of the Dolphin met its demise a few months ago and Jim has been looking for a new one but had no luck. AZ Mike found an Ebay ad that said they had some available and forwarded it over. In just a few days Jim received his new plane, but found out it was a V2 and had some slight differences. Jay helps Jim get the Dolphin ready for maiden but the motor won’t start and the maiden gets scrapped. After some time on the bench the problem is resolved and back to the field they go to try it again. Success! the dolphin flys again and jay has a successful maiden and Jim gets to take it up a few times as well. Congratulations to both the guys for a successful day at the field.

Let us know how we are doing!
