I did a test run on the NGH-38GF engine powered GP Super Sportster today. I got the engine running much better. The low needle was quite rich and tuning helped the low end shaking. However, the engine bolts came loose in less than five minutes of running from vibration. This engine runs strong, it is a shame that it has so much vibration. I rechecked the prop and spinner balance but they were good. I had blue locktight on the engine bolts, maybe I need to go to red locktight. I will keep tying, I think it will be worth it in the end.

Best wishes and good safe flying.
