When i wanted to hover it I had to be at full power just to get it to try in stay in a hover. I even turned the high end needle in a little bit. This helped some. Tell me guys will this go away once this thing is broke in? and plus i'm using lawnboy ashless oil if this makes a differance, Thankks Matt
I noticed you live in Colorado. Well so do I and my new ZDZ 50 is the same. We are just at too high of an altitude BUT I am getting much better performance using a 22X8 prop rather than a 22X10. I expect that once the engines break in a little more that you and I both will have much better vertical. 2 of my friends that I fly with have the same engine as me and one of the guys has been flying his engine for about a month now. His RPM's are improving little by little everytime we go out to the field.
Good luck to ya!
