| I need a baseline temp to go from.. so gentle hover how long to get a meaningful measurement?

Measureing where I do,, 190 to 250 F. about a tank and you should see a color,
From what you have posted before, your good on your L needle, but you were having trouble with the H needle, if the engine is stumbling, or burbleing,, IT's rich, you will need to lean the H needle,,
Do this,, Hover your heli, Listen to it, is it smooth, you should hear a burble every 10 to 15 seconds.. if so then your ready.. if not, adjust the L needle till you do..
Now, from a hover,, do a small climb out, at full throttle,, just a few seconds,, is it stumbleing,, or burbleing,, IT's rich, lean the H needle only,, You should be able to go full throttle and let off come back down to hove height, and give full throttle with and stumbleing, or burbleing, I'll bet your rich on the H needle,, Let me know how you come out,, XGM/VGM
