Last Tuesday I flew my PTS Mustang for the 11th time without a problem, until my motor started acting up. When I lowered my throttle to 50-25% she wouldn't run smooth... rpms were not steady. She seemed to be a little under powered at times. I landed her and the engine quit when I went to taxi it back.

I thought I ran out of fuel, but she still had a 1/4 Glow still in her. The Dew point was over 75% that day... and the temp was 90*+. Do you guys think the Temp and Dew point has a lot to do with how a 2 Stroke Glow will run? I re-started the engine and ran it much richer than I usually do... and it seemed fine after that.

Does weather conditions play a role in our carb adjustments?

As soon as I heard the engine not sounding right, I brought her in resulting in preventing a " Dead Stick." [8D]
