Daul Plugs

[GW]

Jim

I set my high idle at 1400 and fly it, 60 flights, has not quit yet, and I pull back to idle alot during a flight. low idle is set at 1300 for landing .Has not quit on landing either, and its often at less than 1300 when I check immedietly following a landing.

 Cannot tell you about an inverted 3 turn spin though, as thats not one I practice, It will be a year or two before I get there.

  What it the typical launch rpm for the dual plug engines at idle?  I've been gun-shy about going below 2000, fearing that maybe the engine will die at the bottom of the 3 turn inverted spin.  This happened to me once last season and the result was a bad crash landing type of thing.

  Thanks,

  Steve,

  Be careful about idling that low. Mine would go down to 1300 but would occasionally stutter and start running backwards. Obviously not a good thing. I plan to set my idle to about 1700 which is still much lower than the 4-cycles can go.

    Well, my OS is idling at 1500 constant with a single plug how much better can it get.
