RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence
OK, I FINALLY got my plane off the ground today. The Moki 150 was running pretty good, but it doesn sound like I get a sporatic ignition cut-out at mid-to-high throttle. I don't think it's just the #3 cylinder loading up, it sounded like the entire ignition was very briefly cutting out.
This is my first Moki, and I have it installed (for now) on a Pilot 35% yak. The plane weighs about 33 pounds dry. It flew very managable, but much slower than I had anticipated. If you get some height and build up some steam on the downhill (warbird style flying), it seemed to do pretty well, but still cutting out a little.
Obviously, I still have some tweeking to do on the motor, but for initial flight, it seemed to go pretty well.
Now, if I could just find a Meister Corsair that someone wanted to give away....
