When you turn the LSN CW, idle speed will rise, showing you your leaning it out. How many seconds off idle to Idle speed it takes to set idle speed? 5 or more seconds? Too lean if it take that long. I found that the P-0 engine does better when it drop down right away, and slowing down the speed of throttle on my Airtronics M8 radio system. M8 is correct, P-0 out when, ten yrs ago, more or less. All my model, Serpents, Xray, 8th, 10ths & 12th run on M11. Xray NT18 P-0 the only one on the M8, since the class died down.
It drops to idle almost immediately. Sometimes it takes 2-3 seconds, if I've been running the engine especially hard and it's hotter than normal.
