When I am flying my sceadu os50 it seems to lose power when I loop or roll. There is smoke coming out. It could be from the pitch setttings but I dont know . Thanks Doug

how hot does it get, what needle settings.. how much pitch

the back plate is cold you can hold your finger there, but the head is hot. If I turn the needle one click to the lean side it starts to warm up. Right now it is 1 1/2 turn minus 3 clicks. Right now I am running +- 11 degrees. In the past it was +- 9 Degrees. The motor is 10 years old and I have not rebuilt it in a year. The Temp out side is 95 degrees and I switched to 20% vise 15%. I could lean it but I do not want to take it to far. As of right now straight line speed is good but when it goes into a stall turn, flips or tunnels I can hear the power drain as way. Oh yeh I had to turn the idle up one 1% on my radio to keep it from dieing (not the trim).

Running a gov?
Backplate should be fairly warm to touch being to the point of being hot to touch but comfortably without the feeling of being burnt but watch for it still makilng good smoke and bring it down and check evey couple of min. while leaning out.
