New fun project in work, need some info please.
Anyone have experience on run time for a Norvel .15 on 2 oz., 3oz., 4oz. of fuel ??
Nothing on the Norvel site and I have heard many assumptions but no actual numbers.
thx,
Roger V.

I am in the process of trimming my Flightstreak ARF with a Norvell AME 15. I have been putting in about 1 3/4 oz of fuel and still getting an overrun. So I think a 2 oz tank is very sufficient.

Herman,
Many thanks.
More questions, if I may -
-What is the weight of the flightstreak ARF w/Norvel.15?
- line size/length?
- lap times?

Reason : I am building a Pathfinder.15, using the Norvel .15.
thanks,
Roger

Heman,

All of us in the NW are surprised to hear of you running a "big" engine.
