Thanks a lot AJ Sun..... Well there are a lot of issues....
1. I have about 4 inches of distances between the lines which is way more than 3 inches... Will reduce the same to about 3 inches or a bit lesser.
2. Here in India we mostly brew our own fuel and I use Diesel 40%, Castor Oil 30% and Either 30% for my diesel engines and 80% Methanol and 20% Castor oil for my glow plug engines... Am actually unaware of the 4 2 4 break and couldn't find much on the google search. Can you please help me understand that. Nitro Methane being a controlled item is not easily available.
3. Will try them on downwind side this time and give you a feedback.
4. I generally use about 50 feet... Guess I need to shorten it a bit for higher tension and better control overhead.
5. I can reduce the elevator throws on my models by using a bigger spacing on the control horn at the elevator... Will reduce it to say 25 - 30 degrees. Hope that will help.

Will request on your assistance in my understanding of 4 2 4 break and how do you achieve it on regular engines..

Thanks a lot
Shobhit
