[quote=pgkevet;533263]I told ya.. If you're going to keep earning then the drinks are on you!!

Anyway, you don't want to fly it too soon or you'll want one:):):):)

I'll work at it meanwhile.. borrowing Ivan's tach will be a good start and hope the carbsmart can protect it...[/quote]


As long as you don't go too lean you should be fine. I must admit I am still slightly intimidated by the 3 needle carbs but my OS70 was running pretty nicely, very smooth all the way up the throttle and no signs of overheating or anything. My next engine challenge will be the OS91 C spec with pump :eek:

Classic statement!!:)

To remind you this has a crank pressure and cline regulator. Fiddle soem more today and think I'm pretty near there. Carbsmart is still trying to lean it but the power's coming on well and starting has become easier too.

I also messed about fining the phasing and axial rolls are neater. And played more with the CSM720 and that's almost right too.

The silliest problem right now is that the beautiful canopy is really cleverly painted.. and looks like a beady-eyed falcon about to get ya when flying down from loop or stall turn nose in... even wife admits it has an intimidating look from that angle.. need to spray up a new one before i get the heebies:)

I'm back on Monday if you're still looking for an inexpensive unpainted canopy. Sounds like you need to get yourself a YS!

Defo up for the canopy.
Don't think I need a YS here (yet)..getting the current engine on song now..

What I do need is skills...

(Actually what I want is a pitcrew and unlimited spares so I can really go for it without worrying..sorta sim-for-real flying:):):))
