Hi Folks,
Just back from a great mornings flying, marred by only 1 thing, between the two of us we only had one model (a streak) which actually ran right for a whole flight.
In my book a flight with a poor engine run is better than no flight, but with so much tweaking going on does anyone have any rules of thumb for setting up an engine to run sort of OK in the air for those first few flights - the streak is the only model we didn't tweak, mind you, it was the only 'old' model there, the rest are in the trimming stages.
We've done all the basic stuff - no sharp bends in the fuel/vent lines, feed positioned approx correctly for the venturi/needle, but a run which sounds great on the ground then leans out far too much in the air.
Any suggestions on how to reduce the number of wasted flights, because of poor engine settings?
Thanks
