need help in tuning saito 72

[AstroBoy]

haha, how can i even bear to leave this wonderful plane to u all, love this plane at first sight but will try my best to come down if possible btw is the bicycle park along ave 9 where its stated as mountain bike trail something..........

Yes, that is the place, park inside the gravel carpark and walk in about 150m, come to a "Y" road, take the one on the right, walk another 50m you will see a huge clearing, that's where the runway is, from the carpark you can't tell there's a big clearing inside for flying

For your Kyosho GEEBEE with that BIG cowl size, plus you are using Saito72, change your prop to 13x6 or 13x7 after running-in with that 12" prop you got. We are flying here regularly at Tampines on sat. mornings 7am till noon.

Hi, be patient and you will get it. My OS 70FL purposes to have good idle. But to idle proper, the throttle has to open to 1/4. I guess it was new then. Now, with the engine getting more seasons, I can play around with idle screw and it is getting better everyday. If you are not familiar, maybe you should seek guidance from the expert. Trust me, spending half a day with them is worth 1 week on your own. In addition, GeeBee is built for speed, it is known as "flying engine" in the 1930s. I guess you plane, likewise, wing loading is very high, with no engine is mid-air, I'm sure your plane will drop like a rock. Rememer to add, flaperons, it will make a difference. Cheers.

Low-end needle(the tiny screw in the center of the throttle arm) is on the rich side, lean it down about 1/4 turn clockwise, it should idle better/longer, if it's so, lean it again, this time lesser then 1/4 turn, you should be able to idle until fuel tank is dry
