Just remember to look into the exhaust port or pull the cylinder after a few flights and see if there is exhaust plating on the piston from off tune back pressure. If your piston looks nice n clean below the rings at the exhaust port yer good to go.
Finally back to flying the plane a little bit. I have 15 flights since putting on the canister. I dropped the canister and found that there is quite a bit of caramel coloring on the skirt. Given the part in the quote about off-tune back pressure, is the coloring from improper header length (as opposed to needles set on the rich side)?
