I am getting back into heli's after a 12 year absence. I bought a used Nexus 30 wit an OS .32 engine. Afriend who is very knowledgable about them helped get it setup for flight since I am past the hovering and doing forward flight. After burning about 2/3 of a tank the engine loses all power and the rotor speed drops off to a point where it will not even lift off. It is an OS .32 with an Enta #3 plug. jThe pitch and throttle curves are set correctly so what else could it be??

Thanks in advance for the help!!

i'm not a expert could it be a glow plug?
i have the same os 32sx-h engine with the #8 os plug on my nexus 30
and havent had a problem yet when i bench test the heli ran a full tank
just a guess i'm just started learning to fly helis

Sound like it's a little too lean.

Thanks. Someone told me that since I went from 15% to 20% fuel the problem could be there.

Look into getting a header tank.... I think they're about $20-$25
