I'm going to shorten the big tail and try it again. The gearing was conservative so once I have it stable I'll step it up a couple teeth.

Less than four weeks until Fontana.

Adam, you spoke of leaning the engine out for that last bit of power...how do you determine how lean to go?
When it starts sagging out you know ur too lean Give the engine a cooler plug as well as u should be able to lean it out and get some more power from it.
