3. Are you running the Ray English recommended 15.1 mix? And what kind of lube are you using?
Thanks,

1. Just a guess...very hot...230f+ in the air. Deadsticks did not have telemetry.
2. Honestly, very little that we could tell after two flights.
3. Yes 15:1. Using 95 octane non-ethanol gas Sunoco Optima. Oil is Morgan synthetic. https://www.horizonhobby.com/hp-lubr...-oil-qt-coo500
