Default RE: surging in flight

Well GOOD NEWS!!! Last night I soldered a pc of brass tubing to the diaphram cover & run a pc of fuel tubing thru the firewall & into the tank area of the fuse. I started it, tweaked the carb a wee bit & flew several flights. Not once did it surge. Absolutely blew the guys at the field away, who would have thought an 8" pc of hose could help so much, we all learned something for sure. This first gas engine has been quite a learning experience but now well worth it.

The other 2 guys have 18" props & seem to out power me. (we had 2 of them up together tonight) I am gonna get a bigger prop, but it runs GREAT!

Thanks guys for all the input...that's what it's all about.
