Sorry Dave.....
I left for the field before checking for your reply......

Went all day..still fighting the after landing quit gremlin...

I did need to richen the high end needle a bit...(when it threw a prop in the pits...DUHHHHHHHH)

But after flying one time..and calling "LANDING" on 3 attempts......the weather was so good ..that people just weren't listening..and had to go around 4 times because I couldn't get a clear runway......

I knew she was running on fumes...and when she finally went deadstick...I literally had to call dead stick 3 times.....last time I SCREAMED it with authority...and those taxing to the main FINALLY got the hint and taxied off into the grass....

Well to make a long story short....a DOWNWIND deadstick landing in the grass...against the main traffic pattern...in the ROUGH..netted me a broken retract..

Since the engine was dead anyway.....I got off CHEAP!

Oh well...

I'm REALLY interested in trying out your "Fix"...
It sounds like your trying to get the element more into the "FLow"..and might be the ticket...
My plug is an OS "F"...
Do the YS plugs offer the element further out to begin with...and do you think they are superior for that famous "YS Idle".

THanks again Dave..can't wait to get the bird back in the air...Oh..and I know for a fact that one guy flying a pattern ship decided there and then to buy a YS....especially when his thunder tiger (?) threw a rod and took him out for the day!...

If you get an order for a 110 or a 120 from Oklahoma City in the next day or two....He's the guy!...
and If you have trouble understanding his credit card number over the phone....It's because he hasn't stopped DROOLING!!!
