Status: offline 		Sounds like a tank/fuel line problem. Look for a hole or crack. Or, on the bench only put a little fuel in the tank Andy see Hogg she runs.

Status: offline 		Was it running fine and then started this problem?  You might put a little wire down the airbleed or try flushing it out thoroughly with fuel.  Sometimes a TINY piece of whatnot can get down in there and cause funky problems. I'd start with Paul's solution though, put just a bit of fuel in there and see what happens to see if you've got an air leak when fuel is low.

Status: offline 		I am going to try the wire I don't think its the fuel tank it only last about 3 minute in the air and then when we get here ready for the next flight it only take a little fuel to top her off but I'll check the tank too

Status: offline 		How is the compression seal? Engines with poor piston / liner will exhibit this behaviour. Run OK to start, but once fully warmed up, lose fit and die.

Status: offline 		Have you checked to make sure the tank clunk is not stuck up in the corner of the tank so that it runs "out" of fuel after only a short run? Have you held the plane vertically nose up after warming it up and putting it at high throttle? I have a old 60FP and it runs just fine. Good luck.

Status: offline 		Um, the clunk should go to the front of the tank if you tilt it down. If it always stays at the back, that is your problem!
