Default RE: My plane is having issues

Frost shouldnt hurt, just double check that everything is working while it is inside and warm....spads are notoriously heavy,,get your cg right where it is supposed to be.,.old saying, a nose heavy plane flies fast, a tail heavy plane flies once...now if you have a heavy plane and it is " a little" nose heavy, your gonna come in hot and fast,,sounds like your tank has a crack in it somewhere..probably near the top...with the engine running the muffler pressure may be causing it to leak when it normally wouldnt and making bubbles in the line....that is the first thing you need to fix..personally I commend that you are trying on your own..but a little help can go a long way.......run it on the ground for a whole tank to check........Rog
