Mintor setup

[Peter Pennisi]

Jason,

I know little about any of the setups you are using. However I remember
reading somewhere on this list about the distance of the baffle in the
ES pipe is much further back than the baffle in the Mintor pipe. The
problem maybe a result of having your pipe too long. 

I believe Lance and some other people were discussing this issue than a
week ago.

 

I am assuming you are trying to prepare for the trials. Good luck with
it all.

I forgot, my set-up is as follows:

A5 front, F rear.

High rise 3M header, not cut.

ES 140S pipe (1/8" gap)

PowerMaster 15/16

Richened the low end 1/4 turn from stock

Main needle 1 3/8 out

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
