RE: Alpha 40 (RTF) Engine placement angle?
I think the flameout was an air bubble....................I have been tuning nitro engines for 10 years, and flying helis for a year or so.............I ran it a while and it seemed to be well in tune. Maybe just a fluke................I'll be more thorough before I lift off again, but I think its OK..............Most seem to suggest a hotter plug and two blade prop for that engine. Maybe the stock one vibrates badly and aerates the fuel.........................
I put the offset in it, and have a slight gap on the backplate between the mounts. Cant do much more without it hitting on either side, so it must be close. Windy here, but we may try again tomorrow and see how it does.
I am having issues with e-flite and Hangar 9 plastic clevices....................The standard and mini dubros both are too large. Am I missing something? The rod measures 1.8mm, or .071". Is this 2-56?
Thanks for the help!
