Default RE: 3w 150 QS Help

I think she is 90% there. I set the needles back to factory then tweaked just a little. After warming up the transition was beautiful.

I noticed that if I transition from a low Idle extremly quickly(as fast as I can move the stick) she will sometimes Die, but if I transition quick, but not too quick she transitions beautiful. The first flight she seemed a little rich so I leaned the high in a tiny bit and it seems better now. It was 100% humidity and I was flying in a drizzle.

What should my low end RPM be? I have an Idle down programmed to a slider for landing. This engine will idle under 1000 RPM. On flight 2 I did a few spins and the engine died on the second one, I was wondering if i need to bump up my Idle or tweak some more. Next time I fly I will check the plugs color. On the ground the engine is turning 5600--5700 with a fukes 33x10 and cans.
