Hi Tri-stan,

Just a follow up after the week-ends flying. Well I tried the settings as they were which was 1 turn low and 2 1/2 high. I did actualy manage to get the engine going on these settings but it was very rough. I flew it like this but it was four stroking all the time. Everybody at the flying field told me to lean it out because it was very bad for a motor to run so rich to the extend that it four strokes.

The motor ran very cool, I could touch the cylinders with bare hands no problem. I did however lean out the motor quite a bit. I have not checked it but I am about 3/4 low and 1 3/4 high. Even on this setting the motor is running rich but I am scared to lean it out further at this stage.

One thing that I think is realy crap, is the one bolt thing for the prop. I replaced the cap screws with spring steel pins hoping this will solve the prop slipping problem but the engine just bent those pins like they were tooth picks!! The prop slipping thing caused the prop to hit the spinner and damaged the the prop slightly. I am going to try the rough sandpaper idea I read somewhere once between the prop and the back plate of the spinner. I dont think this will solve the problem.

This is one area where BME can learn something from the other manufacturers regarding bolting a prop on to an engine.........
If you have any other ideas regarding the prop slipping then please advise.

From the little that I flew I could see that there is awesome power from the motor and cannot wait to try the engine again after leaning it out a bit more.

Well that is it for now
