Put 4 more flights on the LX today and it is getting to be more fun every flight. One thing that I didn't think about and it almost cost me a dead stick landing is with the cooler temps, I need to open the high end needle just a touch. The engine has about 3 gallons through it now and is really coming on like a banshee. It was running great all day, no issues, but as the temps started to drop, and they dropped pretty quick once the sun got close to the horizon, the final flight it tried to die on an upline. Luckily I had plenty of momentum and just pushed over, but it was not wanting to come back around real easily so I just kept pumping the throttle a bit until I knew I could make the runway if it did decide to die when I idled back all the way. Once I was on final and idled all the way back it seemed to clear up. I turned the plane off to make sure I didn't run out of gas, which I didn't, still had about 3/4 tank on both tanks. Checked all batteries and they were good. The only thing I can think is with the cooler temps, it went a touch lean on the upline. I packed it up and headed home for the night and will check the plane out tomorrow as I am putting the RE3's on as long as I can get a coupler to fit.
