PM (cont)
Ran some BVM O ring oil into the mains and main fill valve.
Noticed one elevator had some slop while the receiver was on: the 4/40 bolt going through the tapped metal servo arm was loose.



Some slop in the aileron servo tray was fixed with some 1/64" thick ply pushed between the rubber/brass grommets and the servo tray.



Engine test (cont):
Ended up with the low and high needle settings at 1.7 each (same as my corsair). Had the low end around 1 turn open and the engine almost stops when full throttle applied quickly. Max rpm's attained was 3700 so I rotated the blades about a 1/16", resulting in 4000 rpm's. My usual comfort level for the Moki 250 is around 3800: 4000 is a little high but max throttle will seldom be used and for short durations.
