Got three more flights in today before work with the new ignition module, opened cowl and tunnel.

My engine ran great just like the old ignition. I went to lean the LSN as suggested and noticed my needle moves with very little effort. Hmmm. So I tweaked it a bit. Didn’t sound a whole lot different, did three minor adjustments and noticed my transition was starting to get that little baby hesitation again so I richened it a tad. I also richened the HSN a tiny bit. Using Terry’s Engine Tuning guide I would say it’s running correctly.
In flight just under half throttle and above the temps climb again. Hovers around 275F but rip roaring around it after a couple laps temps are shooting to 300 and well above if I let it.... the only thing I want to try now is an air dump for the cabin somewhere. As when I open the canopy there is a lot of heat inside. #2 likes to run hot.

Thanks guys!! Any feedback on the videos I make is appreciated. Takes a while to thin it down and transition it... especially with music. Hard to find decent beats that are copyright/royalty free. It’s fun to put these videos together. I was thinking about making videos on tips and tricks as an additional endeavor.

did you do a split plane or use a powerbox type solution?

Used Two R7008SB receivers, BoomaRC Multi Switch with two Pulse 2550 2S, direct input with no regulator or other interface. I did split the plane but looking back I don't see the need to or that it would ever help if one lost connection. If someone doesn't want the extra antennas just go with a single R7014SB. Keep it simple, light, and program a failsafe. :) I like the powerbox/smartfly approach, but don't believe it's necessary personally.
