Default RE: Genesis ARF build, its here.

Thanks Troy.
According to what you are saying it really sounds like I have the idle set right I just need to speed it up a little when its cold. I have the low speed end of my throttle set on the left slider so that I can adjust the idle speed from slow enough to kill it, to about 3500 rpms. I just trim the idle with the slider depending on where I am in the flight.

It has done exactly as you are saying. After about 3 tanks I had to close the high speed needle a few clicks,,, then after two more flights it died near the end of the flight at the bottom of the inverted portion of the inside outside diamond 8 so I closed it a little more. Then again today I leaned it out another couple of clicks to get it up to 8500 rpms and it ran great in the air. Sounds like its breaking in predictably.

Thanks for the insight on the pressure regulator, I will save that information into my files so I have it for reference until I learn the engine a little better.
