| I am running a G23 in my Vario Bell 47 and the hi end needle is only open 1/2 turn from closed for it to run right. The servo is setup linear (50% stick=50%carb opening=50% throttle curve=arm at 90 degrees). The low end needle is open about 1+1/8 turn.
If I richen it up to 1+ turns (where I heard it should run) it won't even take off. I am running 5 deg. pitch at hover and the above is giving me about 1350-1400 RPM. I am running, for now, the 4.14:1 gear ratio and plan on installing the 5:1 ratio next time I have a month to take the mechanics out of the machine.
In general, the engine still bogs bad past 8 deg. of positive pitch so I am sure I need to change the ratio.
Any ideas oh gas gurus?
ALSO check out my finished cockpit detail on the following link. While not a perfect replica, I still like it. What do you think?
