Another R50 update.
 

Put another 2 tanks through and now I can hover at any orentation!! 1.5 gallons all together now. nose/side/cattycorner/tail!! I am right at 1.5 tanks. I can keep it in one spot at tail in for as long as I can stand it and can keep it in side in for about 10-15 seconds. Nose in I can keep it for a while, too. (nose in is easier than side in!) I have been doing some quick full power burst and some fast figure 8s (well more like side to side using rudder to yaw in the right dirrection). I think after a few more tanks I'll be able to take off the T-Gear! :D


Aslo my engine does not make much smoke, is that normal for a 50? I am running at 32% throttl and if I make it richer it 4 strokes and any leaner it gets too hot. I am guessing it just doesn't smoke much. There was an R30 with a webra 36 at my field today that was smoking like it was on fire, that's why I ask. I love this bird!!!! VERY SOLID!

Depends
 

I guess it depends on fuel brand

Another R50 update.
 

30% nitro will smoke more than 15% nitro, i experience the same if i make it smoke real good it goes to four stroke...

Re: Depends
 

Fuel with castor oil in it will smoke more than the all-synthetic stuff, too.

Running 30% nitro CP fuel (23% oil) is a good way to keep the mosquitos away :)
