Default RE: You Can Do Engine Problems

Hi!
Tank height does matter!
This is a fact all of us have learned since "kindergarten years" in this hobby!
People that ignore this fact will have problems with there engine settings as fuel will run down to the carb when the tank is full and you have to lean the high speed mixture...then after 5-7minutes flying, when the fuel level has been lowered the engine feels this as a too lean setting and can quit!

The only way to fix this is to follow the simple gospel that every one of us that has been in this fanstastic hobby for decades knows about:
"Thou shall mount your tank so that the center of it, is in line with the carb" -Amen!

If thou follow this path you will be blessed with calm winds and forever return home with model like new!
