Default RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

Heraldo,

Thanks for the information.

1. The Density Altitude where you are flying is approximately 3000 feet, this means the air is thinner then the Standard Day Conditions at Sea Level. Therefore the default/factory Needle Settings will be on the RICH Side.

2. Your High Needle setting should be very close to 1.75 Open

3. Your Low Needle may be the issue and may be set too lean if you motor is getting HOT. A good starting point is 1.5 Open.

4. Your Xoar 32x18. Is this a 2-Blade Prop or a 3-Blade Prop?

5. On some of the Biela Props the first 4 inches of the propeller blade produce no cooling (a good example is the Fw 190 Scale Prop), as there is no airfoil section. However, It sounds like you ae NOT using such a prop.

6. What OIL are you using. The best product is CASTROL Power 1 Racing 2T fully synthetic, followed by RED LINE.

7. Since both of our flying conditions are similar there is no harm in a 40:1 oil mix (2.5%).

Regards, Darryl
