Mintor setup

[Jason]

Well, finally went flying today (without 40 mph winds) and tried the A5/F
combo. Still not super smooth transition. Leaned out the low end (I think,
counter clockwise) and transition was smoother on the ground, but still
loaded up in the air. I didn't go richer (clockwise?) cause of frustration
and sun burn, so that'll be tomorrow also. Am I doing this all wrong?

Here's my real problem. I am flying basically an 11lb AS. No prop I've tried
from a 16x16-19x8 2B's to 15x13.5 &15.75x13 3B's and 15.25x12 4B can really
slow the plane down. The best seems to be the 15.75x13 3B and tomorrow I'll
try the 15x11 4B, but it seems that the motor is just winding up on the
downlines. Then it takes 1/2 the box to slow it down again so I can make a
smooth transition to full. This makes some of those rolling and snapping
passes a bit too fast. And forget the vertical maneuvers...they're horrible.

Is it just because the plane is a pig or cause the 3M is a 2-cycle (or
operator error)?

Thanks,
Jason
