RE: Chip Hyde's Cap-X - Building & Flying
SOS!
I've finished my CAPX but everytime I fly it the engine overheats. I've got a Moki 1.8 with a Pitts style muffler, I recut the bottom to about three times as much as the front intakes, and I try to fly about half throttle. Each time it starts to sag I try to bring it in for a landing and the engine is running at a very high idle. I didn't cut a hole in the cowl where the head meets it (mounted sideways), should I cut a hole in the side of the cowl for the head??
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. So far the only input is someone mentioned cutting another hole in the front. Baffles maybe??
I don't know because right now I'm the one baffled! I'm throwing this one out for comments and suggestions.
Thanks!
