Default RE: SuperTigre mid-range problems?

3000 rpm idle ? I can't have that ! Yes, I fly off of a huge, smooth, paved lot that used to be part of the old mill here. and yes, it idled at 3000 just fine, but I need 1200 to 1500 max so the plane will stop rolling at idle for me. Im spoiled... I did remove the spraybar and set the LSN at half way thru the slot, and the needle was recessed alot more than it was when I got it. Maybe it will run ok for the new owner now, but im not wasting any more of my precious fuel on that monster. Anything that big should have a gas engine on it, unless your in the big bucks. I fly almost every day, and need fuel efficiency. 25 to 30 minutes on 8 ounces is more my speed...
