I drove up to Northern Wisconsin from NM to visit family for the 4th. I obviously had to take my Predator "p"

The difference in power here is incredible. Everyone at this altutude needs to be flying a gasser, because the performance is really noticable. Sorry guys I just had to vent.

if im not blade bogging youll find me pack puffing

Are you saying that you like it or that you don't like it. Did you think it flew better or worse or just different.

I envy you all at low alts - when I do travel the 450 is about all that makes it and difference even in small heli's is amazing.

I am confused.Your in wisconsin,correct? What is your new altitude compared to home. Higher or lower? Personally I think my house is 58' above sea level.

That is precisely why so many of us hesitate about giving out needle settings.

My needle settings at sea level/lower temps are different at higher altitudes/higher temps.

That is also why we have to lean real aircraft IC engines as we gain altitude and richen them as we descend.

And let's also not forget the deterioration in auto-rotation performance at the higher altitudes and temperatures.
