Well it is not the cowl or a heat issue.. I took off the cowl tonight and it did the exact thing on the ground that it did at the field today. I ran about 1/2 a tank through it trying to get it to idle after running a short time at 1/2 or full throttle. I started backing out the low end mixture setting but I still havent resolved it from just dying on me. [:@] I am not real sure how much it should be backed out... I am comming into this glow thing from electric so the whole mixture thing is a bit foggy for me!!! I had to quit monkeying around with it tonight as it was starting to get late and I really didnt want the neighbors to get annoyed. I will try some more tomorrow night and then try and iron it out at the field on friday if I cant get it to work right before then. I want to get some more stick time on this bird..just without worrying that it is going to die on me!!!
