Well i did my very first flight up here in the Great White North this past Sunday while it was snowing. It was VERY Cold to say the least.
I gave the engine about 4 clicks out on the main and it sounded GREAT then after about 2 minutes the engine revved up and quit! It was real Hot and smoking.
Come to find out, the entire 3rd needle upgrade had fallen out of the carb and the main needle and housing was also very loose.
I need the part numbers for the washers/seals that go under the return line fitting on the carb. Thats all I lost but I cant find a PN for it.
I am checking everything on both my birds to make sure nothing else loosened up during the move North.
I ended up doing a Hovering auto which was no big deal. I also figured it was time to put it in the truck rather than trying to fix and fly it.
I will be flying the Camera bird this coming Sunday and will post the video.
Thanks Craig
