Yeah, it makes sense. My issue right now is getting the engine in the Excelleron 90 to run right. I have an Evolution 100 in there, of course, inverted, and it is more of a challenge just to get it to fly twice in one day than I ever thought. The engine is not consistent at this point.

I have had it worked over by the club pro, but no matter what we do, it will not run the same way twice. After the first flight, after we have it dialed in, or what we think is dialed in, I take the plane up and fly it through the tank of fuel. On approach, the engine usually quits on me. No big deal, probably out of fuel.

Land it, back to the bench, fuel it up, and start the engine. Walk out the flight line, put the plane on the ground, walk to the pad and turn around, hit the throttle, engine quits. Back to the bench.. and.. from here, go back to the previous sentence and start at 'start the engine' and go from there.. never gets in the air for the second flight because after about 6 of these iterations, defuel and fly something else.

I love the plane, but this engine issue has me down. Everyone now thinks that it will run properly after it warms up a bit.. outside temp was mid to upper 40's.

I am beginning to think that the evolution 100 was not the engine I should have chosen, but am now pretty much committed to getting that running right. I could go to an OS 91 but from what I hear, they are not that trustworthy either.

And I don't want to fork out the $400 bucks for a YS 110!!
