Heli engine losing power while hovering

Raptor loses power during hovering practice. Why would this happen? If the engine is running too lean, then how do you adjust the needle valve on a helicopter while it is running?...or do you adjust it with the engine off.

RE: Heli engine losing power while hovering

Your engine is to lean and I would reccomend that you fix it quickly. You adjust the needle valve a few clicks at a time while it is on the ground idling. A good idea is to hit thottle hold while on the ground that way if the collective stick gets bumped it doesn't try to spool up.
