Not real sure on where the needles are set at. If your motor idles nice & rev's up some when you pinch or remove the fuel line - the low needle should be pretty good. I usually would open the high end an extra turn or better and then work back - turn it in a little each hop till things worked fine. That way you shouldn't have a lean run. After you get the high end needle in the right zone, go back and see if the low needle is still okay with the pinch test. (if the low is too lean - the motor will just die when fuel is cut off. If it's rich - where you want it - there will be a rev up when the fuel line is pinched.) Good luck!

Hey Rappyman,
Zero was not able to fly with us this afternoon, he went flying in the morning. I think he's doing good progress on the engine.
There are around 4 of us here that is on the same level. Loops, rolls, flips. Those are the things we need to get nailed to move on to the next. He did his loops & flips all by his lonesome. I also did my loops & flips this afternoon, I just got no video.

Gib, Na disorient ka no? Sayang, hindi umabot ang mga metal parts mo. he he he. Suggestion ko lang, aral ka muna backward flight, that will make you proficient in forward and backward flips including inverted funnel. Goodluck next time. Keep practising until you can master it. Don't mind the crash, but rather make it an inspiration to do better next time.

Hello Riley/Kuya Willy!
Nice of you to join us here at FG sir. Two King 2 kits are on it's way to Gibby, inspiration is definitely not lacking.
Manila ka na Kuy?

Zerodivide/Roland,
Prepare your Raptor for the weekend, I'm still tuning the tail on mine as we speak.

Hansolo, Davao pa me! Saturday pa flight ko sa gabi. Hanapin ko ang best friend mo na nagbenta sa iyo ng pinaka magandang radio na FUTABA.
Pupunta ako Duck RC, baka may pabili kayo. . Mag solicit din ako kay Mr. Pato para sa ating Grand Christmas Party. May taga Germany gusto nya sumali sa Christmas Party pero tanung nya kung tayo daw mag bili airfare nya. HeHe. Hanggang MRT lang kaya ko P're. Sabi ko akin accomodation at food dahil hindi naman ako kasing yaman ni Tom Cruise.... or ni Richard Gere, kamukha lang.

Si Doc Ivan nag promise ng lechon para sa Party. Si Benedict spaghetti raw sa kanya. Siempre, si Gibby boy giants ribs. Ako nag iisip pa kung ano dalhin ko.

Riley,
Pasak mo sa bunganga niya. At sana makahanap ka nung ribbon dun.

Oh Ok. That means may flying pa tayo this Saturday. I think BEC lang needed ko Kuy, for safety.

Yahoo excited nako sa Christmas party. Yung 1000watts na Halogen sana makabit para lipad kahit hover through the night. Dami yan food. Ako basta naka tambay lang dun.

I apologize everyone for some language discrepancy. I can translate if you guys would want.

Hello Mojo Jojo!

Good that ur Trex was not that harmed. I think my crash was lower than your crash but with a higher headspeed, so I had much greater damage.

Ready na tayo for the weekend.
