Everything went really , really well! I had a lot of fun and got 4 un-eventful flights in. I had the 58 a little to rich on the bottom and just leaned a little 1/16th turns at a time and it started coming alive. I have the top set about right where i want it. It pulls this little 16lb 10oz yak around like it doesn't weigh anything.

I had one small issue , which i'm fixing right now. And it has nothing to do with the motor. The coupler between the header and MTW canister came loose on the first few flights and i didn't know it. So some real thick black gunk got all inside my cowl and motor box area. When i would hammer the throttle it actually "Pulls" the canister closer to the motor , and at idle , it would have about a 1/16th gap that was spewing crap every where. I took the entire front end off today and cleaned up the header and "knurled" it to help make the coupler stick better. And i'm also going to double clamp it it as well.

The BME 58 even after 4 real easy flights was acting better and better. It was ripping a VESS 23A at 7460 on the 4th tank....unreal! I'll run that prop for another gallon or so , then swap it back up to the Vess 23B for a while. Also...i had NO ISSUES with knife edge or inverted flight what so ever. The motor ran the same in any position it was sitting in.

I can say one other thing....i was nervous as heck! I flew the larger glow planes up until two years ago , but have been on little electric foamies for the past two years. Jumping up to a larger 30% was quite a leap! About like switching from a Cessna to a Boeing 747 i think.

If next weekend is nice , i'll fly both days and get some serious time on the motor.
