Geistware,

I can indeed verify that RTk's 110 drops to idle as soon as the stick is pulled. There is no "spool down" period of transition. However, RTK made a small modification to the jets of the carb on his per a suggestion from Kieth. The engine could not be richened up no matter what the needle settings were, so it was assumed that the engine rquired more fuel than the stock jets would provide. I believe the jets were drilled out to .56 using a numerical sized bit and fingers without any type of mandrel.

In thinking this thing through, an engine a bit on the lean side would have the possibility of not coming to idle as quick as it should. BTW, the elevations of the fields that RTK and I usually fly at are 1,300 and 100 feet, respectively.
