Default RE: spark plug color

Hi Pe and Tired Old Man,

Thanks for your comments.

I put in a new plug and did some tuning this afternoon. I did my low needle first. I was able to lean it almost 1/4 turn and got a steady idle at 1560 rpm and a quick response to "throttle horsing". I also leaned the high needle 1/8 turn. I then flew the airplane for about 10 minutes. I like the low end a lot better. I did not notice much difference at the high end, as I almost never use near full throttle on this bird.

Overall, I am glad I waited for your comments, made the adjustment, before I flew again. Do you guys recommend checking the plug after a few more flights? Or check it just after this one flight?

Thanks again.

Onewing
