Hi Lance,
What plugs are in the engine?
I have seen plenty of engines quit abruptly, most often at mid-throttle, 
because the plug was too cold.
One Sport flyer at the filed had an ENYA 50CX he was going to take a hammer 
to, until I put an Enya #3 plug in it ...
all because he didn't belive in spending more than $3 for a glo-plug. Great 
running engine, now.
Nitro helps, too.
Regards,

Tom,
Thanks for the mixture suggestion.  I found that the one time I tried this
my engine would quit in the air at idle.  Can the engine cool down enough to
just stop?  I'm flying a 2 stroke on 10%, maybe higher nitro would heat
things up?
