RE: exasperated (@#$%) Jett .50 owner
Good news Bob. After realigning the sleeve, the engine fired right up and ran well. The idle screw needs a bit of tweeking yet. It seems quite critical to get just right. Question - Since the sleeve is realigned basically by the 'eyeball' method, it is likely not exactly aligned to the piston as it was before. Does this mean it needs to be 'run in' as I did when I received it? The weather up here in Canada is starting to get cold. When I flew the F-20 this morning it was -3 degrees. I had installed a VMAX .46 while I tinkered with the Jett. NO COMPARISON!! At least I had a one flight fix. Tomorrow the weather looks a bit better, so with the Jett reinstalled the performance should be improved. One other question. Have you seen that new laser cut kit by AK Models - SIMPLE FLYER? What a unique looking thing. Looks like it might be a mover with a Jett engine. Thanks for all your help.
