MDS 58 Problem?
Hi All
I have a trainer with a MDS 58 Nitro engine. I haven't flown it yet but have had the engine running on the ground.
It seems to run ok ( I can pick the plane up and turn it upside down, straight up etc ) without it cutting out.
But there is a lot of Oil? coming out from the exhaust. Is this mormal or is the engine actually set wrong?
I am running 5% Nitro from the local Model shop.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Pete

RE: MDS 58 Problem?
5% would be very oily, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

When you point in nose up does it die?

You really need to tune the main needle with the model point upwards and the throttle wide open. Which means you need a helper on the transmitter. Its worth getting an experienced ear to do the finally tuning.

Too bad stupid isn't painful.
