plane freak you said a bad word mds and dead stick in the same sentence..............i was just curious are the smaller engines as funny on the carburetor settings as the bigger ones are i have a 78?i haven't really had any problems with mine except had to nylon tie the muffler to the body,i lost one.but the remote needle seems to stay wet i cant actually see a leak Ive pressurized it and all,replaced the copper washers.i have about 2 hours on the engine now and the carburetor settings seems to be getting better.....happy flying
