RE: new feul, engine stalls
Hollo gentlemen, thought I would give an update. First, my last post had a mistake. I've burned 1.25 gallons not Quarts of the 10% as stated.
I went out saterday. A lot of problems with the overall performance of the plane so I went through everything from adjusting the throughs to checing c/g ( I've had my strugles learning to land).
As far as the engine is conserned I spent a lot of time adjusting the mixture. had it runing better but it seemed slugish. Longer takeoffs and did not want to clime. that landing was a bit rough (variable and gusting winds), I broke my 11-5 prop. I installed my 10-6 and tried to lean out the mix. It sounded good but another long takeoff and after flying about 5 minutes I reduced the throtle and the engine stalled. On the up side I landed the plane dead stick with the wind and only one small bounce.
I look at these challanges as part of my education and am greatfull for your advise and coments.
