<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>Mike I still see my YS as a monster waiting to get me but I have managed to keep it performing well for the last 200+ flights using these guides:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. The HS needle seems to be more leanient to richer settings so I have always run it at or above 2 turns out.</DIV>
<DIV>2. I leaned the pump a little to improve the idle but I don't think one needs to mess with it much.</DIV>
<DIV>3. Change the plug every 50-60 flights...I'm using OS F type.</DIV>
<DIV>4. Adjust valve clearences when you change the plug and keep them on the low side of the range.</DIV>
<DIV>5. Ensure the exit hole in the cowl is BIG...really BIG.</DIV>
<DIV>6. I never run the engine dry. I close the throttle at the end of the flight and de-fuel.</DIV>
<DIV>7. Limit the top RPM with the smaller props. I was down to 85% ATV with the 17-12...I think.</DIV>
<DIV>8. Use CP30 HP Heli.</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>The Weak Signals Contest was great. The quality of flying in every class, WOW!! I believe that when the competition is this good, every one flies a little better than he thinks he is capable of. With so many "old timers" in one place the amount of information and advice to be had is amazing. One thing I did learn.....listen to your coach......if she (or he) says your pattern is off center, it probably is. <BR>Please keep the YS suggestions coming, they are appreciated. <BR><BR>Mike Murphy<BR>Sent from my BlackBerry Smartphone provided by Alltel<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: colin chariandy <<A href="http://ca.mc1126.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=cchariandy@yahoo.ca" ymailto="mailto:cchariandy@yahoo.ca">cchariandy@yahoo.ca</A>><BR><BR>Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 07:48:15 <BR>To: General pattern discussion<<A href="http://ca.mc1126.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org"
