My Posts This: Topic Forum | So far so goodWell spent 2 tanks today farting with the raptor engine tuning chasing it for a while due to my muffler slowly getting loose. I kept checking it during needle adjustments but it never looked loose, probably the angle I was looking at it. It was just barely leaking but it was making a difference. It was talking to me by running great flying around but when I dropped down to normal it would run lean all of a sudden. I thought the low end needle was in too much so I gave a smidge on the second flight and that's when I saw the Muffler during a wiggle check. That didn't end the day for me though. The Govenor did. Nope I didn't throw a magnet like I normally do, the whole friggin govenor sensor came off the engine! Both bolts back out on me. There's a first, for me at leaste. I learned my lesson with this one. You'd be proud. I made sure throttle curves were flyable before I started  No auto necessary. So much for preflight regimine. I still check the tail hub.. every once in a while.
On a positive note flip rates are right up there with my Razor but the Roll rates are still a bit slow. I might look around for some stubs and give them a try. Pretty happy so far though, she's better than she was. Too bad I don't have a friend with a Trex 600 to compare it too. Well I do but he's in love with his 700 right now and the 600 is riding the pine.
