Zpat -> Saito 80 power loss (9/17/2003 8:35:19 PM)

I have a saito 80 that was running very strong. It runs Cool Power 30 % heli fuel with OS "F" plug. I've run about 10 gallon of fuel through it.
In an attempt to start it acted like the glow plug was failing. After a new plug was installed it acted the same. Upon inspection it was found the valves were out of of adjustment so I adjusted them with the feeler gauge that came with the engine.

Now it doesn't have near the power it had. I've only run it twice since then but I wondered if anyone else has encountered similar circumstances.

I found my power loss.
I got the fuel cans mixed up and the engine looses considerable power running 5% Omega.
I've got the 30% Cool Power back in it along with an APC 14x4w prop and now I could'nt ask for a better engine prop combo for fun flying.
Happy Flying![:D]
