Sounds like it could be too lean on the bottom and rich on the top. I would leave the bottom alone as you have already richened it and lean the top slightly. How did you set the timing when you converted to RCXL? After trying the needle settings you may want to try advancing the timing just a touch. If none of that helps it may just be a charictaristic of the engine with a deep pitch prop on it. The airflow through the prop keeps it spooled up until you are on the ground and slow. My DA 150s used to do the same thing until I learned to slow the airplane down for landing at a slightly higher idle.
i just wish it would idle down on a dime like my dl/dles and every other gas motor ive seen fly
i didnt, i just dropped in the rcxcel hall sensor in place of the stock 3w sensor, it has plenty of room to shift in either direction.... im gonna investigate what its set at when u say advance the timing, looking at the engine standing infront of the plane, would i rotate the hall sensor clockwise or counter CL?

High end to rich.

i was under the impression the high end needle did not effect the idle at all....but i guess there is always next weekend to try it out, because like i say, it always runs great on the ground
