<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

170. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The 140 only saw 15% Cool Power and two
OSA5 plugs. From the first start in my drive way it ran as good as you can
expect a new engine to run. I ran two tanks using idle, mid, and W.O.T. Then,
took to flying it. After a few flights, engine was tached at 8350 with the apc
16.5 x 12W (with header cut 1.0"). </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The 170 saw 25% Cool Power from the start,
with 1 OSA5 and 1 OSF. This weekend, I switched to 15% Cool Power and two OSA5
plugs. I needed to readjust the high and low end. High end was about 5/8 turn
leaner. After a few flights, it was turning the 17 x 12 apc at 8100. At this
ground setting, the uplines did not show any signs of sagging. Maneuvers like
the top hat w/ ¾ up, or the figure 9 with 3/2 can be as tall as you like -
really cruising over the top. Also, header is cut 1.0" shorter than
stock. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>What I noticed this weekend using the 15%
fuel, which was not as prevalent with the 25% fuel, is that when landing, I
needed to lower the idle trim. At launch, idle was 1900-2000. All the ground
running and throttling would always come down and hit the idle speed. However,
after the full flight, I needed to lower the trim or it would want to float on
by. </span></font></p>
