YS 63 problem
Hi Troy
I purchased a Javelin with a YS 63, the engine runs fine on the ground, turns about 10,000. Take it up and runs well for about 2 min. then loses all power ( does not dead stick) and was kind of hot when we landed it. I am assuming it is leaning out for some reason but dont know why. I tried richening both the reg and the HS but still have the same result. I am suspecting something is going on with the tank although it does have plenty of pressure. What do you think

RE: YS 63 problem
It is likely leaning out from getting hot. its got too much load on it. You need to be at least 500rpm higher. Put a smaller prop on it or stick some nitro in it.
12-9 or 13-6 APC on 30% heli fuel is about right for the RPMS. you need to be between 10,500 and 11,000 So if you are using this prop already and less nitro then go to less prop. ANd if you are using 30% heli fuel and more prop put a smaller prop on it.
There are lots of combos but you need to hit the target rpm for the engine.
Another option could be poor cooling. And yet another problem could be a damaged engine from being run too hot or with too much load. Then no matter what you do you can't get it to act normal as the ring could be scorched and leaking past...all of these are signs like you describe when the engine gets up to operating temp.
