Sport CARF Pitts - Engine Upgrade

[dhal22]

Yep, I hated to see the Moki go, loved the sound, but it was so boring to fly that it wasn't worth the half hour it takes to put it together.

When the motor and headers get here tomorrow, I'll learn a lot about the next challenges... Firewall, header adjustments, where to mount the throttle servo, and a common 3W problem... How do I get to the carb screws with the headers in the way!

Shorten the carb screws. I'll get you a photo of mine.

That's way too obvious a solution for me!

Shorten them Mike! Dremel and a cut off wheel!

Bunky is correct.

Engine showed up today... Needles on the rear carb are already cut off. The front needles are not blocked.

Excellent. Go make some noise.

Some dremel noise and a lot of cyphering... That's about it.

Don't forget those "go-zin-too's".

1 go zin too 1 1 time....
2 go zin too 2 4 times.... You catch it....

Down here, those are gazintas. You also have to be careful with the tords.

As in.... The prop goes tords the front.
