I have a question..I have an os fs120III 4stroke i broke in. Is it normal to have excess white smoke coming out of exhaust when on idle or mid throttle. I set the needles per instructions and tweeked it every which way but still get smoke

I'm not familiar with OS, I don't know. I would suggest contacting them for proper tuning recommendations.

Hello , I am looking for opinions on if i may be ready for this plane. My current and previous planes in order were. Electric Supercub , then i flew a S.P.A.D. dogfighter "scratch built_ ocasionally crashes still- using parkflyer radio with this gas model.And ive currently has sucess with a skydancer -lowing wing balsa arf with evo.36.. and foamy electric Yardbird f-22 with flaperon controls only.. THink i should give this a go? P-51

Going to answer all at once. Anyone can fly the PTS as long as they have an instructor with them. Get with your local club/flying field to see when you can get lined up with an instructor. This is the old PTS, I would recommend going with the newer version with the Spektrum Radio.

im using wildcat 15% 2&4 stroke fuel...and im using the glow plug that came with the engine brand new in the box

[carlosmurphy4u1]

What kind of fuel, glow plug?

[7bikerboy7]

Yes i have adjusted the low end...i leaned as much as i could. the idle is steady and i can slam it without hesitation.. i tried leaning it till little smoke was coming out on idle but then thats when it hesitates.

[carlosmurphy4u1]

There should not be an excessive amount of smoke at ANY time, you've adjusted the low end I assume? There should be a little smoke at idle and a faint trail in the air, is the idle steady, can you slam wide open throttle without it bogging or hesitating?

i just bought a alpha 40 trainer, probably should have gone with the super cub electric...oh well live and learn

[jakestud360]

alrighty thanks for the fast responce

[HorizonRCdotCom]

If you have a trainer or instructor, yes. If you're looking to fly this cold straight from the Super Cub I think it would be more than a bit much.

Hello i was wonering about this i already have the supercub and have mastered it and was looking for a plane to upgrade to and was wondering if this would be a good plane to enter into the nitro field with?
