hotbodies a-7 toki engine help
 

When I start the engine it runs fine. I get it up to peak rpm and then turn the needle valve out a little so it is not running lean. When I face the nose up the engine runs fine. But when I point the nose down it starts to die, not instanly but a few seconds. It seems that the fuel cannot get to the engine when it is pointed down. Is there a way I can do the hose inside the tanks so it can draw the fuel out when the nose is pointed down..If I am missing something please help....Thanks Shawn

when you point the nost down do you think the clunk is still in the fuel? in flight the fuel will still be at the back of the tank, when you are holding it, the fuel moves to the front of the tank.

So you are saying when I am actually flying the clunk will stay in the fuel?????

A7
 

Yes, when flying, the clunk will be in the same basic position, but the fuel will stay near the back of the tank.
The A7 is a fun (though a bit slow) airplane. The takeoff is the most challenging part ...... build up your groundspeed on the takeoff roll and make your climbout shallow (to get the speed up). It lands very nicely/easily. Bob

It works the same with any other model. The only difference here is the tank is in front of the engine instead of behind it.
