<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>by the numbers you have given I'm guessing you are
only using 15-20% Nitro....Up at altitude 6000ft we run the 140L at about 1 turn
open on 25% nitro....Reason less air needs less fuel....The problem is I bet you
might be turning too much prop......Try a little less prop and get your RPMS up
a bit...A 15-12W is a good one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>More nitro is always a good thing too....Nitro
helps the idle consistence....If the motor has some time on it it might be do
for a new ring...I would say about 200-300 flights depending on the level of
use-abuse.</FONT></DIV>
