I have a 1-1/4 oz tank, 20% fuel APC 6-2 and 52' handle to thrust line and I run out of fuel in the overhead 8. It is running a little rich but if I lean it down any more it's just too fast. Cox TD venturi (.116") should I go smaller?
Update: I just found a way to make the tank bigger using 100 psi compressed air LOL. Tank was 34cc now bloated tank is 37cc. Just have to be careful not to pinch it back down. Also, the manual says these things run ok on 15% so I've got some flying to do.

Hi Motor Man, why are you using a 6"x2" prop? can the 1.0cc Norvell pull a 7"x4" prop? If the Norvell can swing
a 7"x4" prop, you'd get less RPMs, hopefully usable thrust, slower, more manageable lap times and far better
fuel economy. That is a small displacement class "A" engine, not a Half-A engine. This is simply a suggestion;
because I'm not familiar with 1.0cc glow engines. I am very familiar with 1.0cc diesel engines; that make very usable
power with 7"x5" and 7"x6" props for control line flying. Best of luck. Tony G
