ORIGINAL: Julien Hp

Hi gyus !

I'm flying a Wild Hare Edge 540t with a DA 50 and the last flight I made....the motor cutt of suddenly when I was in "harrier". The plane have less than 7 flight and firts deadstick. I'd like to know ALL the causes of the deadsticks and how to chek them..The RPM was too high..7200 at high speed...I was approximatly at 1/4 of throttle or less when the engine stoped..

thx Julien

(oil mixture is ok...I got a Zinger 22x8 and will change for a MENZ 22x8 as soon as it arrrives)
Check your fuel system carefully. If it's still new and tight, you could be overheating it a bit too. I have a 22 x 8 MSC and turn around 6600 with a very rich break in setting. I'm currently experiencing the tale-lift and stall problem at idle rpms, but other then that the motor runs great.

Regards,
Lee
