I just finished rebuilding the Hangar 9 PT-19 that I planted some time ago. In the process, I eliminated the dihedral and stretched the fuselage. Test flight should be this Sunday, weather permitting.

Today's test flight canceled on account of rain. This area is under a flood watch.

Took the PT-19 out today for a test flight. The McCoy 35 wasn't good enough. I have since swapped it out with a ST G21 46. That should do it.

The ST 46 wasn't enough. Next try will be with a Fox MK-6 combat special.

Engine didn't want to run last attempt. The MK-6 is very touchy.

Hand starting, electrical starter?

Hand start only. Seems that I changed the NVA and never established the proper setting. Once flooded, they are a big problem.

Since the electrical powered stunts are alowed on FAI F2B, the hand starting is not mandatory anymore, so I decided that it is a good ideea to save time using from now an electrical starter if the engine it's a donkey! Also I still have engines wich are starting like "honey", just from the first flick!
For me it looks like your problem is not the NVA, but the ventury, yes. Did you tried with a larger one?

The problem was the setting. It was set way too rich and flooded. This thing is a monster when flooded cold. I took it home and checked it out, reset the needle, and ran it in the back yard. It is no problem if you avoid flooding it.

Yes, my opinion is, as I said, ventury to small...it could be a possibility to flood easy the engine if it is not used carefully.

One measures .290", the other .292". Sounds about right. Both with Super Tigre spray bars.

PT-19 flown today. I am going to change the MK-6 combat special to the Fox 40 R/C converted to C/L. It should be more user friendly.

Transplant done.

UPDATE: Test ran the engine. It wouldn't stay running. Might have some bad fuel. I know I had at least one bad new plug if not 2. Both Fox. I will try again later.

I removed the problem engine. I installed a reliable Super Tigre G21 40. Sunday will tell the story.

The ST G21 40 turns out to be a perfect match for the PT-19. The plane just needs a bigger tank.
