RE: C 160 Transall setup
Roger that. Yeah, My goal wasn't just to have set the same, but at least burn close to the
same amount of fuel. I mean, they were way off. When I drained them the other day, One had once ounce left, and the other had over two ounces left. That's alot. But I knew it was mechanical in the linkage, because they didn't idle very close to each other, and I knew my throttle linkage was identical on each side. SO, between a combination of bending linkage, and shifting servo arm holes, I finally got them to run up the same. I will definitely still tune them for each engine, but at least now they are mechanically close. Me and Capt Crackup (Skip) are both currently running 9X5's on our .25's, but after a while, we may give 10X4's a shot just to see how they perform. I am still nervous about flying the twins, but I guess as long as I take the time to make sure the engines are properly tuned, and watch my time, it shouldn't be a problem. These C-160's don't seem like the kind of planes that would fly well on one engine. I have almost got it in my head that if I lose one, and am not in some kind of wierd position, that I just plan on cutting the other one out and take my chances on a deadstick. Depending on the situation obviously. Let's just hope I don't have to find out. Thanks for the comments.
Later. Keep em flyin. Sir FlyAlot (Jeff)
