I read about guys only getting 8 or 9 minute flights so I wondered if maybe I should lean a little more. It was early evening when I flew and temps were in the low 70's. Using Coolpower 30%.

If anything it sounds a lttle on the lean side, getting hot and very good fuel economy are signs of lean.

But you have to assume that the Carbsmart is doing the right thing at handling the fuel mixture correctly, yours is not the first report I have heard in regards to longer flight times with a Carbsmart on board.

I don't have a carbsmart and could hold my finger on the plate for a long time. Thats what surprised me. Figured if I flew that long it might be lean, but I didn't burn my finger. I plan to run a tank in idle 2 next time out and see what that does for flight times and temps. I guess if it feels a little hot and the flight times go down under ten minutes, then I will certainly be in the ballpark.

My mistake, I read Multigov and thought carbsmart.
How long is your several seconds that you can keep your finger on the backplate? I can leave mine on indefinately after a flight.

Indefinately for me. But that might not be for everyone.
