fixed and running

[gottahawk]

Well I got my hawk all fixed up again. Thanks everyone for the info. Between everyone's input and the the help from the people at century helo in San Jose, I switch from norm to s-1 and s-2. If anyone is setting up for 3-D the best info I got (someone posted it in response to my incident too) Is set everything up on the ground not running. When switching from norm to 3-D the only thing that might be different is the pitch and throttle should change, but nothing else, that makes it solid while switching in the air. One question though. I have the toki .40, if anyone else runs that what temp does yours run at?
Thanks

The engine backplate should give you a clue.....fly around a bit....land and either switch off or let the heli idle.....and grip the rotor head firmly!!!...then place a finger tip on the engine backplate...be careful you dont get burned...the backplate might be lukewarm....or very warm but not so hot you cant keep your finger tip in place. This should give a clear indication that all is well with the engine....Too hot is too lean....the incoming mixture should keep the backplate fairly cool....excess heat is either an engine running too lean OR there might be something on the drivetrain causing excess friction....which would make the engine work harder than it should...but this is unlikely....

Great minds think alike.
