Ok thanks guys, thats what i needed to hear.

ken, want to first poin out that i said "INexperience" I meant that this was my impression but knew i was probably missing something. I think the fuel system may be playing a role here too, youre probably right on the money (as usual) with the combination of me used to the engine flying the plane as well as the plumbing issues. Thats why i made this post, and why im still in the beginner forum.

guys, i do have a plane that is a copy of the four star. When i started looking at the decathlon i wanted something slower and more stable than the dolphin, i knew the decathlon wasnt but then i quickly got comfortable with the dolphin and thought the decathlon would be a nice change.

i think ill work on the plumbing and tuning and learn how to fly the plane, maybe try some more props. People like a 12x6 but i thought that was a little light for the 55AX
