OK so we're all not paying attention at the field. Everyone's so excited to be running these high numbers on the radar, and then someone notices that it's on KPH not MPH!
Dammit!

So I think the run we had recorded before, into the wind at 101.6 (level flight from a split-s) will have to stand for my top speed until next weekend. I think with no wind I'll do a little better.

I will also try out the Zinger 11x8 prop (wood) - I have a feeling that it will do well, too.

Steve - if you're getting 4-5 minutes consistently at this point, it's not your motor. It's something else - and my next suggestion is to replace the fuel tank and hoses. I had the same crap with my T-Maxx - it would run like a champ for 3/4 of a tank, and then just quit. It's literally OUT OF GAS!

This sounds like it also might be too short of a clunk in the tank, and on an attitude greater than straight and level flight, you may be missing the last ounce or two of fuel? It shoud almost touch, but be able to flop from top to bottom when you shake it and roll it.

BTW: I ran out of fuel for the first time on the weekend in about 5 minutes from doing nothing but speed runs. Do you have fuel left when you come in? (Silly question, but we're trying to systematically solve a problem)

I went Dead stick 4 feet off the deck - downwind - doing about 100! Made it in safely - dropped the retracts and deployed the spoilers, grabbed some altitude, whipped it around and floated her in like I been doing it like that all my life! Too cool in front of my buddies - smooth! I love my Bobcat!
