I'm getting back into nitro (been doing gasoline and electric) and I'm curious how to tell when your mix on the carb is just right. I've got a new os50 in an Sceado Evolution and it's running very smoky (it runs very very well like this). I'm putting the mechanics into a fuse and would prefer much less smoke.

I'm running wildcat 15%. The carb is at 1.5 turns and I know it can go less, but how much less? A tank of fuel only lasts me 8 to 10 minutes with isn't much.

If you can point me to a website about this or have any words of wisdom please let me know!
