Paul,
Did you have your tank leveled with your carb centerline? Is your engine pumped?
What size prop are you using?
How much nitro and oil?
Would you mind sharing some photos of your plane? I have a Dash 5 OS .61 powered also and love it....
Well, let's see here..........tank is pretty much inline. Might be a tad higher than the carb but not by much. It is pumped yes. That's probably the biggest reason I took the kwik fill out. With the pump I just figured it was sucking air. Putting the dot in did seem to help that as I ran quite a bit of fuel through it on the ground and it just ran great.
Tried a ton of different props but this last flight we were running an 11 x 7 just because I couldn't shorten the pipe any more out at the field since I'll have to take some length off the header and the 11 x 7 hit the pipe just like it should.
I've always used Cool Power 10% unless the LHS was out and then I'd use 15%. Haven't had any issues there and like I said, she runs fantastic on the ground.
I've got a shot of it in the photo gallery but to save you having to go looking, here she is............
