Rotec R2800 Radial pusher gyro!
Successful first test flights.......flies true and strong.......a few adjustments to fuel flow but she should make it to Wrens!
Tried to post some video but no luck.....sorry!

Barry, the best way to go with videos is just uploaded them to youtube and make a shortcut to the video.
I too find it hard to post videos here.
The software is pretty stone age that runs this forum.
