MY ZN line Integral has been converted to electric. It has been flown just a few times this year, and although I love the simplicity of the 170 CDI, I needed to strip the whole plane down and re-paint parts of the nose where the paint had been eaten away by Nitro, and the home-made […]

Flying season 2010
Here’s an update about what’s going on in the 2010 season. The integral is pictured here with a new undercarriage which was violently torn off minutes after the picture was taken. The Integral is the best flying plane I’ve seen. I just love how it presents itself in the air and the color scheme is […]
Vingtor Cup 2010
24 pilots came to do battle in the second Norwegian cup contest of the 2010 season. With the unexpected high turnout we could only manage three rounds for all three classes (F3A, Nordic 09 and Sport 07) but we had a great contest with sunny warm weather and a great social event on saturday. Particularly […]
Integral flies!
Finally! The Integral test flights went well. Although there was a lot of wind today I could tell right away this is an exceptional plane. It’s very responsive and smooth. I had my usual brain seizure while setting it up, programming the exponential the wrong way – I had 40% positive expo so the first […]
Integral CDi conversion
The Integral is finally ready. The YS 170 is converted to CDi and as soon as the weather is warmer I will run and tune the engine so it’s ready for the next season of P-11. I’m now using Futaba FASST 2.4 GHz to avoid ignition noise so hopefully I’m immune to radio interference. Ignition […]
YS 170 CDi conversion
I’m rebuilding the YS 170 in the new Integral with the CDi and low-oil conversion kit. The CDi consists of a new backplate, ignition box, wiring and cable protectors, head and plug. Low oil parts are just the new crank and cam gear, all other parts will be reused. Getting the engine apart was not […]
New plane: Integral
New plane in da house! I’ve bought a brand new, ready built ZN Line Integral. Masterly built and painted by Rune Gjelsnes who is now well on his way to financing the switch to electric F3A. It has a used Ys 170 for power but will be rebuilt with CDi conversion kit before I fly […]
Mid-season status update
I have been quiet here on the blog but very actively practicing and tuning models. Here’s a quick update on how me and my planes are doing. The red Laser (OS 160) is performing extremely well. A better manifold (thank you Just Engines) and shorter pipe lenght has produced more power and it now pulls […]
