Default 91FZ high-end problems, plus a bit about prop nuts
Dave, you hit it on the head. I got new YS 20/20 today, and bam, instantly running 100% better than it was! The old stuff I had must have lost some of it's punch, and that's probably why my Rossi likes it so well!!

It still wasn't always solid, but found out why later on; I took the plane apart to move the CG back a little, and what do I find, but some fuel-soaked balsa!! The tank was a GP tank with the screw-on cap that didn't screw on very well. It leaked fuel all over inside! Looks like I've got some work ahead of me to get it flying again. And of course it happens when the engine is running so much better than it was! That's how it always works, doesn't it? Oh well, part of our great hobby...

Thanks again everybody!!

Carl
