We had a heat wave around here today ( 29F ) and I got the new carb installed at the recommended needle settings. Took my heli out to try it out again. It ran pretty good, idled nice, responded correctly to needle adjustments. I was starting to think the coleman fuel wasn't all it's cracked up to be.
I am still a bit on the rich side running 1650 rpm with 640 woodys, just hovering around my yard a bit and a few low level climbs for about 15 minutes and I have a little over half tank of fuel left. I'm lovin it! Now I can get my gov settings figured out, but after I get rough throttle curves set up without the gov on.
