Default RE: U Can Do 3D

Coo, good to hear it worked out so well, especially the free fix. I too, with a good smoke trail had it seemingly rich enough, but at that setting it just wouldn't give what I wanted. It ran great, but I always questioned the settings with the Cline regulator. Just didn't seem to get the results from the high end as when it was in the stock setup without the reg. Also, no matter what the setting, the oil residue expelled was always black, like I was cooking it. Well I finally broke down and mixed my elevator to slave off the rudder to stop the dive to the wheels when rudder is applied. It works, with my linkage ratio setup, which is about .75 to 1 it required 45% mix. If I can get back out today I can play some more to find the best percentage. I really didn't mind correcting with the sticks in the air, but was always apprehensive of useing rudder on landing, as it would abruptly force the nose in. Crosswinds are prevelant at the field this season for some reason. Good luck with breaking it in, should give old faithfull some new life. Joe
