Jetman,
I would also recommend purging the propane before the first flight of the day. Yesterday in Tucson, my 500 did not start on the first try twice. I purged the propane, refilled the canister and it started right up. Like Sirrom said, make sure you spin the motor up with air, let it deplete down to about 1000 rpm then hit run. Also, max rpm is 150000. You had mentioned it was up to 130000. Go into your parameters and make sure the hi rpm is set at 150000 for full output. Good luck. If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask. I think you'll find the 500 to be a gem of an engine!
