Well gents, the weekend has been and gone, and it's happened again, this time with MY tuning and me flying.
The aircraft has an inverted ASP 61 2/C
First flight, no problems (aircraft was set too lean for my liking and richened up.) The engine never missed a beat, and I felt confident enough to hang it from the prop for some time.
Second flight (in the space of 10 minutes) was a disaster. Start engine, wander out, rev up take off, and a flameout at about 25'. I ended dinging his plane getting back on the ground (stupid clump of reedy grass staved in the LE!)
I'm confused.
One thing that I did note, was that the muffler pressure point is nearing the bottom of the muffler, it's up on one side, by about 1/8'' from the bottom. That said I've run inverted 60's before with exactly the same setup and not has this problem.
The mystery continues.
then try your engine in his plane..................still sounds a bit strange to get one full flight and then nada on consecutive flights.
i have pressure fittings in the same location and never had any problems like this.
