miss bud drives by herself.....

Hey guys thabks for all the help on my previous posts. Well i took bud outt oday for final breakin and everything was going smoothly. I put fresh batteries in before i started today so i know they would be good. Well i got her up on plane did a few laps and let off the gas. she still kept going but not undr throttle but under a small bog as if there was a lot of fuel in the cylinder for her to run on. I tried to stall her by applying forward throttle to close carb but no go. she just kept coming under a slow bog till she came to shore where i caught her. anyone else have this problem?. I thought it might be the foam in the radio box catching on the servos so i replaced everything in the box with some heli foam i have and new gell tape to hold everything down. I also made a new cover and bought new tape to keep any water from getting into the radio box. will try again tomarrow.

I had that same problem once..only to find out that I was running WAY too lean...the fuel breaks down somehow to let you know you're too rich...I had somehow adjusted the carb needle all the way in to 1.5 turns, when I backed it off to right around 3 turns out everything was beautiful...

Hard to belive it ran like that when it lean! My guess would be that either the throttle arm on the carb was loose, or the reciever or servo got wet and was not responding. Check them and see if you are getting full (glitch free) movement on the throttle by watching the carb barrel. Good luck and remember to have fun.
