RE: top flite corsair build questions
Mistral,
I just noticed your last post today!. I'm glad I could help. I just ran my engine today for the first time since the maiden and crash. It ran fine and turned the 18x12 at 4400 rpm. Idle was between 1400 and 1500 rpm. I'm now ready to to give it another go.
Concerning your hesitation from idle to full throttle, I think your idle screw may be slightly lean. Try turning it counterclockwise 1/8 turn and see if that helps. That should let you idle a little lower as well. Remember to go back and adjust your main screw as before (finding your max rpm at full throttle and then richening a few clicks). Once you get that idle screw dialed in, you won't have to touch it again. You should only have to adjust the main screw to your weather conditions.
Hope this helps,
Joe
