RE: Cermark F-16 First Flight
Flew the F-16 today with the new ultrathrust muffler, WOW, performance is awsome like a different engine. Speed and vertical with the 12X8 APC is awsome. I think I finally found the right engine set up for this aircraft. Will put the 1.08 in a Rear Bear.
To recap Cermark F-16 with: OS91FX, Ultrathrust Muffler, APC 12X8, 15% Cool Power, OS #8 plug. Robart Spring air retracts and Macs simple smoke system.
I am giving these details so somebody else out there may not have to go through all the trile and errors I had to go through.
One question, when I turn on the smoke the engine seems to richen up and lose about a 1k RPM. I am thinking this is because of the tuned muffler, i.e. some of the smoke fluid is resinating back into the piston. Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I have to live with the RPM loss with the smoke on? I do have a remote mixture control but hav'nt tried leaning it with smoke on.
