Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

Raideron, I know we may have discussed this earlier, can't remember, but if not, make sure your couwl is cut WAY open. I always cut the entire bottom out, sorta follow the channel under there and have about a 2 1/4" square in the front. I also cut a 2 1/2" long by 1/8" slot about 1/2 way on each side. This keeps it open and allows the air to get out which keeps it cooler. One of the problems is the ambient air around the engine gets hot and then you change the jetting because the engine is sucking hot air. If you can get that hot air away from the engine it will run much better. It sounds like that is your simptions. Anyways, I always am very aware of an open cowl. They run so much better. The other thing you can do is move to Idaho.

CeeGee, I'm glad you call Futaba. I know your radion will do all the stuff you want, it's just getting it programmed. You mentioned flaperons, don't use those in the wind, use spoilerons. The spoilerons go up, the flaperons go down. You want the up for landing in the wind. At least I think that's what I do. Oh yeah, and don't tell anybody. I want to keep that a secret.
Thanks,
Barry
