Default RE: GP JU-87 Stuka engine question

Flight went uneventfull (no crash) but not entirely sucessful. I have a MDS .68 in this plane and had ran it a few times last winter in the driveway testing with no problems. We could not get that thing to run correctly and it made the plane way underpowered on its first and only two flights. When I got home and unloaded I fiqured it out, I used 15% nitro and that motor hates anything over 10% (which is what I ran it on in the tests). Other than that it took to the skys (after a scary maiden take off) with very little trim required.

That thing is just too ugly to fly!!!! And I love it!!!!!
