    Status: offline     		The fuel makes sense.
    I know in the car world, it's really not advisable to drop nitro content. The engine will break into the cooler running temperatures of the higher nitro content, and if you run lower nitro it'll run hotter, and lose compression. This causes a tendency to flame out.
    If you try a super hot glow plug, it might help. However, I'd just run some hotter fuel.

    Status: offline     		PLowboy,, Thanks for the info I will try that too but for this week with the time I have to get in there, I'm just going to get some weight in the nose and see if that brings me any closer to level flight, yes 3 wings puts a little drag on that Twipe for sure. And an inverted low pass with that plane!!?? LOL, what,,, you didn't like my waterfalls 2 foot off the deck I'll tell you that added a few gray hairs and gave my heart a new jump start for a few more weeks.

    Kerwin- Chin up buckaroo you'll be showing off and not even know your doing it with your T_ _ _ T very soon, this season is just getting started.

    DownT 15% wildcat always for me, (well If its available) and usually is but there are times when the whole world buys all the good stuff before I get the LHS. I hear cool power grabs there 2 & 4 stroke fuel from the same Vat thats just wrong...

    Status: offline     		I used 15% Powermaster in my OS .46AX and then one day I ran out. The only thing I had was Powermaster YS 20/20 so I used that. You gain a little rpm and there is a very little more oil to wipe off. So I've been using it since, no need to carry two different cans of fuel and it costs only $1.00 more than the 15%. It has never made my 2-stroke flame out and it is still using the same glow plug.

    Status: offline     		Boy do I hate being down. spoiled I guess.
    I now realized that I need a 2nd T___T. you've all seen my short little field and I could sure use your recomendations. Like the T_ _ _T 60 with a OS FX90, or a OS 120 pump.
    Or how about the 150 with an OS FX 160.
    I need to be able to use the TOWER easy pay plan also

    Status: offline     		I called horizon this morning to add to my order but they had already filled it and had a tracking #, so I'm hoping to be T_ _ _T before long.
    I flew my sopwith and my sig se today. I ended up breaking my landing gear on the sopwith.
    When I put her up it was cloudy and been that way most of the day but 2 minutes after being up it started rainning and I had to get her down and needless to say I bounced her hard landing. The left rear strut broke.
    So then I flew my sig se. She really runs great but she is no T_ _ _T. She was very hard to harrier an not near as light. It only made me really miss her.
    Waldo that info was great and looking at a few of the names kinda makes you wonder what happen to them.

    I didn't forget you I just wanted you to have your own Introduction Ladies and gentleman Now introducing Chuck993 LOL Sorry about that, I'm sure I missed a few more too.

    Binky the wings are staggered, I believe I went 2 1/2 inches on each wing totaling a 5 inch stagger over the whole 3 wings. I might be wrong on that number but I think its right, I'll have to check my notes at home. Its really hard to see the stagger when shes sitting on the tail, but once it stands up you can see it no problem.

    Dennis I'll bet you love that combo.
