Brillelli 46 Dies on Take Off - HELP
I have a Brillelli 46 GT that I picked up here on RCU some weeks ago. It's used, but looks to have very low run time. Anyway, on the ground, the thing starts like a champ, idles great, has perfect acceleration and top end performance. I couldn't ask for anything more........until it's time to take off. When I advance the throttle to take off, the engine tries to cut out and die. If I walk over and hold on to the plane, it runs great as I stated before. It does this cutting out thing on take off. If I manage to feather the throttle and nurse it off the ground it eventually picks up and is o.k. as long as I'm doing scale aerobatics like loops, rolls, and such. As soon as I start doing anything real aggresive it dies and I have to deadstick. Any notions as to what's going on?
