Silversurfer, thanks for the input, it's just the kind of info I am looking for. I'm going to try running the engine this weekend and tweak on the card as it is on a rich setting. Maybe after I try that, managing the throttle will be a little more forgiving. Ken, thanks for the words of wisdom on the SD, I feel much better about the structure now . It came in at 31# also, no trim adjustments at all and I was very happy with the big ***** cat feel.[sm=thumbup.gif] Throttle management is going to be the key to much fun. Thanks for all the input.
