Well if it was tuned that smooth....with no burbling at all....it could have been too lean and hence a flame out. You need some burbling there or that can happen. Also if it's too lean your acceleration will suffer. Not sure that was it but it can happen from too lean of a low needle. It's happened to me in a low and slow knife edge. Thanks to the huge rudder and full deflection of the 87" EF Yak, I was able to turn it around and still land it on the field. It was close though. If I had been a little less lucky I would have had a pile o' sticks to take home.
