On the last flight it started to bog when going full throttle in flight, and when going vertical the revs would go up, then come down. When I start it and pull the glow igniter off, the RPM's stay the same for a bit, then drop and lope. Never had issues with it before, so wonder what it might be. I finally got to actually fly the SSE and had fun with it, but with the engine acting up towards the end of the last flight I cut it short. I also got a second and third flight on a Radian glider I bought a couple years back. Flew two packs from 12v down to storage level, don't need to charge them. The first flight was a bit goofy, could not get the plane trimmed, and found a loose clevis, so replaced it, and the first flight today, just a touch of up trim was all it took. My second landing I put it right at my feet. My last flight with the LT-40 I landed it on one wheel, and then the tail touched and I turned it towards the other runway before setting the other wheel down, so I did a 1-2-3 point landing. LOL
