Default Nexstar Select Engine Problem

Hi, I just bought a new Nexstar select with the .46 fxi and i have a problem. It idles awesome but when you give it full or 3/4 throttle it cuts out and dies. I have only ran about one tank through it and it hasn't even left the ground yet. All the settings on the carb are factory. Any help will be appreciated. P.s. Are props on brand new planes supposed to just fall off?? Didn't think so.
Thanks.

you need to find a club or someone that flys to help you sounds like your carb needs to be adjusted

Checking prop tightness should be part of your pre-start safety check. Neglect this and someone will wind up with a trip to the emergency room someday. Trust nothing, suspect everything. Particularly with an ARF built by some guy working for virtually nothing in red China.

I would also not trust that prop to be balanced. Every prop I've ever bought in the last 40 years needed some balancing work.

If the engine .46fxi justs dies you need to richen up the low speed screw or the hi speed or both. If the engine stumbles up to speed and dies or keeps going you are too rich and need to lean motor out. Turn low or hi speed clockwise to lean out and counter clockwise to fatten up or richen the mixture.
