Well, I experienced my first deadstick! Actually, twice!!!!![X(] Both times ran out of fuel. 1st time, was heading downwind in order to
line up with final approach. Scared as hell to try and not tip stall, I brought it in fine. Just used a slow lazy right hand turn and tried to
keep up some airspeed while keeping nose up just a little. 2nd time, I was up about 500 feet. I just circled and dropped altitude
and landed although landed at end of grass strip and actually hit the bushes at about 2 mph.
My plane has a 12 ounce tank. I'm using Byron fuel, 10% nitro and 18% synthetic/castor oil mix. Engine is OS .46 AX. I find that I'm getting roughtly 6 1/2 minutes run time. Does this seem correct? I'm not full throttle all the time. I figured I'd get at least 10 minutes.
Maybe OS engines love to drink the fuel? Also had the engine bog out a little. I ran fuel thu needle valve each way. Bog seemed to go away. I still may have to tweak the low end. There is a little hesitation from idle to full.
