Mike31: Thanks for the suggestion, but I will never buy another Super Tiger. I bought a .45 about 6 years ago and I spent about 15 hours trying to tune that thing. I had the *pros* at the field trying to tune it for me (VERY experience precision flyers) and the thing would never run for a full tank. EVERY single time up, it would dead stick on my.
It probably doesn't matter for you since you've sworn off ST's, but in case you run across someone else with the same problem maybe you can help them out. I have three ST 2 strokes (2x40's and 1x61) and they all did the same thing to me at first. The trick to making them run nice is only run them on 5% nitro - they really don't like or need more than that - and replace the stock plug with an OS #3 plug. Then it's just a standard tune up procedure (low and high speed needles) and they'll idle all day and transition like a dream.
