hello,
I went flying last saturday and for the first time since I got into this hobby I actually had a bad day of flying. I went flying at about 10A.M, it was about 28 degrees out. I managed to get one good 10 minute flight in, then in the middle of my second flight I had a dead stick, and since I fly at a very hight altittude I had plenty of time to choose my landing. I then refueled, checked my high idle mixture screw and gave it a few clicks rich. I fired it up, taxied out and began my takeoff. As soon as I took off my engine cut out!!. I landed right away and repeated what I did before and It happend again!!! luckly there was no damage to the plane. the engine Im running is an os .46 fxi out of my nexstar, which works beautifully in a towers trainer. sorry Im rambling on but I was wondering if the temp outside could have caused the dead stick?
