Engines Plugs Mufflers Fuel > Preliminary needle settings for OS .32 ?

Hey gang,

After too much futzing with the Thunder Tiger .36, I am going to replace it with an OS .32 SX and Weston pipe. What kind of needle settings are you using with 15% Cool Power fuel?

Thanks,

Tim

i can't recall what my final settings are, but i started with the manufacture's initial settings in the owners manual. I too started using CP-15% when i got my OS32SX-H in my raptor, but have since switched to CP-30% and an Enya-3 plug. Great combination

OS 32 w/ weston pipe& CP 15%

Tim,

I have run that combo for lots of hours. Leave the low needle at the factory setting and start at 1& 1/4 out on the main. With CP 15 that should get you slightly rich, but still in the ballpark. To set the low end, it should be as rich as possible while still accelerating from idle after warming up. Set the top end using the smoke trail at a full power climb. It should be steady and about the same as a good smooh hover. Make small adjustments, it's easy to overshoot the ideal setting.

You will like the OS! I have also had good luck with the OS 8 or Enya 3 plug. They both seem to work equally well for me once the mix is dialed in. I think the Enya will tolerate a slightly richer mix and still run smooth, though.

Have Fun!

I just put the Weston pipe on my OS 32SX-H with 15% CP and found that my low speed stayed the same and my high speed is one turn out and still a little rich. It flies beautifully with this right now in the cold (-10 - +5 C). Hope this helps some.
