Engine is running a little off. I just saw a post that fuel can absorb water in as little time as a week.
I'm near the end of my 2nd gallon of fuel. I have NOT been sealing the cap to the fuel. I'm thinking that may be my problem?
I had the same issue at the end of the last gallon and when I switched to the new fuel it ran better...

I think I'll remove my cap with the hoses going through it and put the original plug and solid cap on the fuel after flying...

Last night was my 2nd trip to the field on my own...I was doing low speed passes over the runway and when I tried to throttle up the engine hesitated but I added up elevator to soon, I started to stall to the left then the engine kicked in to full throttle. At about 10 feet off the ground I looped around and was heading back towards the pits and a couple of the heli guys. I thought for a moment of putting it into the ground for saftey sake but recovered at the last second and flew off.. I shouted out an appolagy to the two guys but they just laughed it off. Others might not have thought it was funny. Probably not as close to them as I though but scary none the less....

Another lesson learned. whew!
