I agreee that a 10cc is a nice 0.60 replacement.Ken Schroeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792686126519801598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973001257469712096.post-5796669971040322892017-12-02T11:00:40.912-06:002017-12-02T11:00:40.912-06:00I would, Luis, but it varies so much...

I just ordered a 60" Sukhoi from General Hobby yesterday and saw your post on Utube today. Question - Are you flying the 60" or 70" version with your 10cc. I have an Evolution 10cc which is supposed to be a .45 glow replacement and the 60" Sukhoi is rated as a .45 glow. Your comments would be appreciated.

I finally got out flying today and spent an hour trying to find the sweet spots. They are no where near the factory settings of 1-1/2 and 1-3/4. I think mine are out about 3-4 and a half turns! <br /><br />Ypu may know this already... Just get the engine running and once its going set the high needle (the aft most one, nearest the firewall) to get the high rpm at full throttle. It will be a little rich in a new engine. Once that is set, let the engine warm up a little. Once it is, drive the throttle slowly from idle to full throttle, and tune out (richen) the low needle until this is a smooth transition. Once it is, jam it from low to full, andd tune it until this is smooth. It may lag a bit but tune it u til this fast teansition is smooth. You will need to work out the throttle end points. Mine are Full 128% and Idle 31%. The full is set until the throttle goes full without bending the throttle control rod, and idle is whatever the engine tolderate for low rpm. Mines a little fast and its because the cylinder head is a new one. Hopefully as it breaks in it will run smoother.Ken Schroeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792686126519801598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973001257469712096.post-14976309146683578082017-03-12T05:36:27.737-05:002017-03-12T05:36:27.737-05:00Hi Ken,
