Default RE: YS 110FZ problem question,,

Not sure when Troy will pick this up, he's usually pretty quick with answers.

But I'll throw out a thought or two for you based on my experience with the 110's; once broken in mine will idle quite nicely in the 1700 RPM range when running 30% CoolPower fuel. The higher nitro content fuel not only produces higher peak RPM but allows them to idle slower and the needle settings are not quite as touchy. I had to get mine idled down or the airplanes they are mounted on would taxi off on the asphalt taxiway's and runway at our field. My Funtana 90 especially likes this lower idle RPM for landing...

I too was nervous about it quitting in flight so I used to just bump up the throttle trim three clicks (or beeps depending on your radio) before takeoff and back it down again for landing. Then when I started flying gassers and all, or most all, of the guys run a mix for what I call a flight idle on their IMAC stuff. Just do a throttle-throttle mix on your radio kicking up the idle to whatever makes you feel comfortable and kick it up before takeoff, and down to land.

Works great and adds some confidence/error margine for you, try it or the clicking the trim up for flight.
