Flight risk a slow learner is a slow learner,take me for example.Made the same mistakes with variations just to confuse myself,obviously,and make the steep learning curve more entertaining for the first few years cheers

Now Pete, this is a much better looking prop than an APC.

Graupner Super Nylon 12 x 8

Having been a Saito freak for years I just broke in a NIB OS FS48 (old version with airbleed carb).9500 rpm richened 200 with an APC 12x6. That's only a couple hundred R's shy of my rebuilt Saito FA56a numbers. Runs terribly rich at idle though, even with the airbleed screw turned all the way out. I'll try a new f plug first, if that doesn't fix it I'll have to drill out the airbleed hole one drill size at a time until it's tuneable. I do despise airbleed carbs.

Hmm. I've never heard of drilling out an airbleed.

It is a fairly common fix.
