Well the engine runs great at top end, a slight bit richer than max rpm,very smooth and throwing a thin puff of white smoke. HS valve opened 1.5 turns. Looks as though i'm quite close with the LS settings as well, but not quite there. Engine is a Magnum XL 32, ABC type engine which is on a 25 size trainer with ailerons, maybe slight over-powered but what the hell ..

I was off getting LS back to factory since I was using a downloaded manual for the 40-46. Just found the XLS25-36 manual and go figure, procedure to get back to fact settings are different on the 32 and 36 size. Complete opposite process ... no wonder my LS valve assembly got all F'd up [>:]

Will try the pinch method to see way to go from here.


Edit: After some back and forth, transition is "almost" perfect, so I basically won't mess anymore with settings for now. I went through about 4 fuel tanks while keeping an eye on the engine temperature. It still not that stable at low idle. We'll see after a few more fuel tanks .. the goal is for this bird to get it's madden flight during mid - end of Feb.
