os# after 5 gallons of 15%

[Evan]

onboard temp says it runs in the 160-180s wich is cool with me the temp varition varios with the outside temp. motor is making plenty of power and runs sweet idles great and has had no problems i bought it used and it was suposed to have burned 2 gallons so its about 7 gallons now.

i think ounce i burn the case of fuel i just bought ill rebuild this or possibly convert to gass. im looking at the hobby world kit right now.

That plug has been running too cool but if it runs to your liking...great.

If I was converting again, the HWC Kit is the way I'd go. I think that's a good call.

Thanks MCK just kinda wanted to make sure i was right in thinkn it was rich.

doozer. the helibug kit is cool but i cant make myself like the fuel tank up front. that just seems wrong to me.

[Doozer]

Yeah the fuel tank up front is a bit of a pain. I had mine timed pretty well. I could fly just about 30 minutes on 14 oz. (Casual Flying), but I always got a little worried around the 12 to 15 minute mark. The cool thing about it being upfront is that I can go with whatever size tank I wan't. I use a Frenzy canopy and I could put a 20 oz tank underneath if I really wanted to stay in the air a while. A header tank could solve your problem if you need a visual. However, having to trade frame sides if I want to change the pinion size, and the cost of replacement parts, make the helibug a bad choice for me. When I bought it, there weren't many, if any, other choices out there. So that's why I say if I had it to do over I'd use the HWC kit.

The HWC (Hobby World Corp) kits come with everything you need, as long as you have the original nitro parts. The clutch is a lot beefier, and it won't cost you an arm and a leg to replace many of the parts. If I want to change pinions... I only need to buy the pinion. Somewhere down the road I'll buy a cheap 600 or 700 frame and I'll build that kit... just not now. I'm having a lot of fun with planks.
