Jack211 That's a mouth full. Sorry for your bad luck (I hope). I agree that the tuning & set-up for four stroke is more critical than two stroke. My ear is not good enought to set the high-end of my Saito. I use a tach and have found that I was running lean alot of the time. If it quits in the air at anything above an idle, its to lean, to hot, or fuel supply problem. Too rich of a top end should never quit in air. Also from my communication with Joe Wagner who writes for Model Mag. He does not recommend Trans fluid for ARO. If transmission fluids temperature exceeds about 350 degrees F, it deteriorates and loses its lubricity, and the combustion chamber gets way hotter than that. Just a thought.
