Title: Check the simple stuff
Post by: Randy Powell on June 26, 2011, 08:25:14 PM

So, the OS 40VF I've been running as been pretty erratic. Runs OK, slows down, speeds up and seemed anemic sometimes while other times it's fine. I tried all kinds of things: changing pipe length, changing fuel, plugs, etc.

So, I had decided to try the other engine (another 40VF I have) and went to change it out then. I suddenly noticed (how did I miss that?) that the Crap Trap I was using was backwards, crap came into the filter and plugged it. So, I backflushed the filter and put it in correctly. Wonder if it will work now?

Oh well, there's always the back up engine.

Uh-huh! Last Wednesday at TNA, a certain .25FP was running a little funky. The glowplug was only finger tight. No, I don't own a .25FP.  D>K Steve

I also noticed a certain AeroTiger .36 that has some run issues (both at TNA and last weekend at the fun fly). Hope a new tank does for that one. Nice plane.
