Default RE: New Evolution 10cc gas engine

I've got close to 20 tanks through the engine and I've been flying it on the Meridian using an APC 13X6.  I've switched over to Klotz oil still running 20:1.  I've tuned the low end in quite a bit from the stock setting and it now has a quick transition from idle to full without any stumbling or 4-stroking. I was afraid to lean the low end early-on but now after that many tanks it should be OK and it has much better transition response now.
The high end won't 4-stroke in the sir under load but when it's diving and unloading the prop it will 4-stroke a bit. Little movement on the high speed really does do a lot. I've not noticed any slop or leaking of the HS needle....yet.
Happy with the performance but I will be trying a Vess 13X6 to see what difference that makes. Also the exhaust residue has cleared up dramatically . It's a lot more than my other larger gassers but less than a typical glow.
I sealed up the stock muffler all around and it is holding up well....so far.   I also removed the plastic screen clunk and replaced it with a brass sintered clunk.
