I've had several days of good flying with no crashes. But today the heli would balloon when the wind would blow and I would cut throttle. Then I would have to punch the throttle "hard" and hope that I had the time to spare between the heli and the ground. It recovered every time but there were close calls and altitude was difficult to control. The engine had what sounded like a rich "sputter" before it would "catch up". The air temp. was 65 degrees F. and the 110 had plenty of lift off power. The fuel setting was 2 1/4 turns out with 2 washers under the glow plug. In this cooler weather the engine requires very little throttle to maintain altitude when flying. It seems so relaxed that I believe the engines is getting too cool.....could this be the fault of the glow plug? The hobby shop won't be open until tomorrow.....so I'll get one then but do you think I'm on the right track? I have flown in the wind before.....everything was good until today.
