I am having a problem with this engine. First let me say that it's on a Sig Somethin' Extra, and it's turning an 11X6 APC prop with cool power 10 percent fuel.

Now to the trouble. I maidened the plane yesterday, first thing in the morning and it flew like a champ. I ran out of gas and dead-sticked it right onto the runway. Not too bad for my first glow powered flight.

So i am pretty psyched to get it back up in the air. Refueled, and started it back up. No indications of a problem...yet. Warmed it back up on the ground like I did previously, made sure the transition was still ok, and took the runway. Looked good for the first 75 feet or so, then it started hunting (I guess thats what you call it) a bit. I turned back toward the runway, and she conked out on me. Another uneventful dead-stick to the runway. (Excuse me while I pat myself on the back.)

Ok, to make a long story a bit shorter, I took it back out this morning, and guess what, same exact thing. Great first flight followed by 3 dead-sticks. All to the runway i might add. If I can get it running good, I think I will love this plane.

Like I said, this is my first glow experience, so I am not sure what to look for. I don't have a tach, so I just leaned it until it sounded like it was at max power, and richened it up a few (2 or 3) clicks. I checked the fuel system for air leaks and found none, not 1 bubble in the fuel lines. Maybe I should add that this engine is completely stock, I haven't moved the stops, removed the baffle from the muffler or anything.

I would appreciate any help, as it's frustrating to have it fly so well at first then not fly at all.

Also, what other props would be worth trying?

Thanks in advance,
Jason
