I got my first flight on a 50cc plane today! The flight was a success however I forgot to set my timer and was having so much fun I ran out of gas. I deadsticked her in and I could not belive how that thing floated in. It seemed easier then my small glow planes. It was a great flight!!!!! I just wanted to know what temperature should this thing be running at. I downloaded the BME manuall and it said to run 50:1 Amsoil series 2000 20w50 racing oil. So that's what I did. I mixed 2.6 oz of fuel to 1 gallon of gas. I put a little more becuase of the above post that said 40:1. When I got home today I ran some fuel through the plane and the engine seemed to get to 240 degrees. This was not flying, it was in my garage. I am just paranoid that I'm going to run it too lean and lock it up. Are temps in the mid 200's ok not flying? Today after the flight I did not check the temp but it seemed ok. Thanks for all your help, flying this bigger plane was really awsome.
