Hi,

The engine so far seems to be handling fine. Start easily, picking up the revs very easy.

But my tries last saterday where not very succesfull. I made some flights OK, engine is not having any problems upsite down or with hard pulls/ short turns. (somebody else has got problems with a gas engine, picking up 1000rpm running upsite down so I tried that), so that part of the engine is OK. Power seems to be real good, engine is not run in, but it flies the PAF-trainer at 9Kg's as a F3A plane ....

But the whole day trough, the engine did run without a problem and then died suddenly, nomather which throttle position. It would run fine for a whole flight, land, tank, start again (without touching the needles) and then have these problems.

After searching back at home, I seems that I had a loose contact in de battery used for the ignition. But i only found one glitch, so not really sure. So new parts (battery/switch) are in place and i'm trying again shortly.

Also the support here in Holland is real good. If the new parts are not solving the problem I take the plane to importer (Pe Reivers) so he can help out.

So far I except these things as I am very new to gasoline engines, I know these things are really sensitive on the needles...

I will keep you posted,
Winfried
