I still think the .62 has a main bearing that isn't seated and when the case heats up during flight it causes enough drag to make it die at less than full throttle but not enough to make it die at full throttle. I don't believe it is fuel system related , not when I can install the .45 in its place and it runs perfectly.
I called Horizon but they were unaware of any particular conditions to the .62 that would cause it.
Send it to me and I will put it through a LOOOOOONG flight test program. I have the plane just right for it,.
