We might come for a day. Michelle's youngest daughter lives down there and they like to hook up.

Any chance of your being at the Arcola VA meet this coming weekend?  Bill Glaze

One small tip.  - When you turn in the needle for the first time the hole for the set screw will snag on the spring-clip indent. It can fool you into thinking that the needle is fully seated. In fact it has to go in several more turns. For most of us it is counter-intuitive to force a needle in when you feel resistance. You think that it is in all of the way. If you do not catch this, then engine will start but is far too rich to run.As far as break-in my latest one ran a tank on the ground running fat, and then two 20 oz tanks in the air and it never quit. I ran my second one at Glen NY this weekend and after run #10 I was confident enough to run a full FA! P-03 schedule with lots of up and down of throttle management. Never missed a beat.It is very nice to be able to do an hour glass up line with 3/4 throttle up to the 1/2 roll and then full throttle actually shows a change as you add it for the second half of the 45. On one flight the plane went so high with so much authority that I apologized to the judges for what I did to their necks with the figure-9. Half throttle to the first 1/2 roll, three quarters to the next one, and then full for the last one. The plane then exceeded the 60 degree height rule on a turnaround... not a great way to score but and great underscore for the power of this motor.  - 17 x 12 APC and 10% Powermaster in a 10 lb 10 oz, year 2000 Hydeout.Regards,Eric.
