Went to Firestone and the group had decided to fly friday instead of today due to the wind being pretty gusty. It was 42 degrees... BRRRRRrrrr... came home and went over the Pantera. Recorded my normal pitch curves then set it to a flat 50% to check headspeed at 50% stick. I'm at 1620 ~ 1650 so I'm not overspeeding.
