Default Power probleme with the webra P5

I just got a caliber 30 and webra 35 from Cyberheli. Excellent machine. Thank you Stephen.

The Webra 35 needs to go through at least 1-2 GALLONS before it develops power. I started with high needle at 2T. I would get the heli revved up and it could barely lift off. After a few mintues of this, the head speed would just decrease even at full throttle. I would then go over and lean it out about 1/8 of a turn. Same process, now the heli seemed to have more power and it would begin to hover; after some time of hovering, the headspeed would die down again.

I would go over and lean it out again....and again.....and again. I am now at about 3/4T on the high needle and the Webra seems to have suddenly come alive with an amazing amount of power. I have been through one gallon thus far in this process.

This has been my experience and yours may be different. While my Webra 35 was breaking in, it acted as if it was running too lean. The dying headspeed is usually symptomatic of the engine being too lean and overheating; not with the Webra if you started out at 2T, and gradually leaned out the needle. Be patient. It will develop power!! My low end is at the factory setting.

I use 5% fuel.
