It seems my G62 does not produce optimal power until I place the plane in a slight dive, then it sort of clears up with all the power it produces for the rest of the flight, make sense..? To clarify, I take off and notice that the engine does not seem to be at full throttle (but it is), after I gained enough altitude I place the plane in a slight nose dive and all of a sudden the engine seems to clear up and has plenty of power (full throttle sound). As long as I don't touch the thottle the engine runs great but if during the flight I reduce the throttle and then increase it back again to full throttle the problem comes back again and I have to do the same (place the plane in a nose down attutude to gain full throttle again). To clarify further I don't have to keep the plane in a nose down attitude for the engine to work o.k. at full trhottle, just dive for a bit, the engine clears and then works fine in all attitudes until I decide to reduce the throttle and increase it again. What's going on.

Thank you.

Hrmm...

I'd take a wild stab and say maybe it's running a bit rich, and the nose down attitude reduces fuel line pressure just a tad...long enough to"clear its throat". That is, however, a completely wild guess. *heh* I've never had a G-62 behave quite as you describe...

If ANYONE in the world would have an answer, it'd be Ralph Cunningham over at RC Ignitions. http://www.rcignitions.com/ Ralph is quite active on his forums, and if he can't figure it out, it can't BE figured out.
