HELP!!! Robart 650 Retracts
Hi all, I'm installing Robart 650's in my TF 60 Corsair, check out my pics. How do you install the adapter bushing into the strut without banging it. I can't get it to go any further without possibly damaging the strut. Instructions say the adapter needs to be flush with the top of the strut.

RE: Help....Warped elevator
Hmmmm, I received my new elevator today, and I got the same result....so I twisted the wire a bit, same result. Next I guess I'll try the four hands heat and twist, and if that doesn't work, the rebuild of the left elevator. I guess. Bummer....but I'll not give up, something has to work.

RE: Help....Warped elevator
Yep, have installed many before, they weren't glued in yet......the warp was discovered in the dry fitting. Looking for delivery of the new ones tomorrow, I hope.

RE: Help....Warped elevator
Now this is what I call great Customer Service. I sent notice to Top Flite informing them of the warped elevator. The first response I received from them was that they had verifed my purchase from Tower, and that my replacement tail surfaces were on the way. Yeaaahhhhhhhhhh Baaaaabyyyyyyyy

120 surpass III bogs down on full
Hello Bax, I have a 120fs surpass III that will not reach max rpm.........I have run 4 tanks through it, the first two, I reached full throttle during run-in........the leaning and richening procedure. After that, every time I tried to go past 3/4 throttle, the engine bogs down........it will speed up again if I decrease throttle to half or below.........idles well. I have tried adjusting the idle-mix screw, leaning and richening, mostly leaning but not wanting to go past 1/2 turn from the closed position. Could the rockers need adjustment this soon, or what could be my problem? It flies perfectly well at half throttle and below, just bogs down when I go above.

Near miss disaster 50cc
Anybody running a toc 53mm, I have about 3/4 of gallon thru my engine, and I'm getting aroung 6500 rpm, but on my maiden, as soon as my plane reached about 50 feet off the runway the engine died, I found that I had both needles set at 1 1/4 turn. I had great idle and good transition but it quit on my second attempt also....dead stick landing.....slid on spinner, nose to the pavement, no damage. After opening the high speed needle about an eighth of a turn, I took off again....4 minute flight, it was great, until I made a left turn and....dead stick, cut off again. I am near repairing this tough bird.....I Love It, but I need some guidance on keeping it running. I flipped my reed block and carb probably unneccessarily, but I don't want to flip it back for fear of stripping the threads of the carb bolts. I'm turning a bunny 22x8 prop, at 32:1 fuel ratio, with a good plug, fully charged batteries, and it runs great on the ground, idling and transition. I pulled up some instructions from BCMA and it said to start out with (H) at 2 turns and (L) at 1 3/8 turns, and adjust only between 1/4 turn either way. That didn't work either. This is my first gasser and I'm close, but where should I start with the needles and which way should I go?
