In other CL news, I am working through issues of a reluctant Enya .35.
Advice/obervations from others has been along the lines that the engine may still be very young and needs to be properly broken in, and reduce castor content of fuel (now at 29%).

The engine had me working hard this past Sunday, trying to get it to give me at least one flight. It did manage to give me a flight of about 3-4 circuits, but slowly died, finally cutting out and allowing a landing/flip.

I just got 3 brand spanking new uniflow tanks from RSM, right off the production line.
For a different configuration, I also have a tongue muffler coming in from shtterman (eBay) that has a muffler pressure nipple.
Have to drill and tap the mounting lugs on the Enya .35 to try that config out.
Test runs tomorrow, Tuesday...
