    Hi Pud l think it was running to lean hard to say it grabbed at 3000 rpm well thats wereit was when the engine stop at ,the plugs are nice tan color . The only thing different has been l changed to castrol active 2t from penrite hi per. The motor runs to full power the only problem l had a flat spot at 3000 rpm. Its now all pulled apart im going to put a set of standard barrels and pistons in it to get back in the air..

    You should know your aircraft have a check list of all the major control linkages wing attachment points all of the main thinks you do before your flight take off your engine cowls check the engine mountings. DONT wait for you hundred hourly inspections things can work lose long before that . As far as lames go word of mouth find one with good rep.

  22. skyfox1
    Hi Justin the ailerons were set with to much down throw creating heaps of lift and produing to much drag in level flight . There is a standed for setting up of the ailerons yours might be different becuase you have flaps not familiar with your set up..
  23. skyfox1
    Hi Justin also check the ailerons to see if they are set even l have fixed to drifters that flew terrible because the ailerons were set with to much camber you always had to have heaps of forward stick pressure to fly level.
  24. skyfox1
