I have a Mini Max 1200Z with a Zenoah G50 engine...but I have some trouble with it and need some help. It's stored in NM where the altitude is 4300' MSL, with a density altitude of 6000'. I think b/c of the high altitude, I can't get full performance out of the engine. I've changed carb jet sizes but nothing works. When I go full throttle at a quick rate, it bogs down and won't give me the full thrust...kind of a bad way to fly. And after taxiing, it won't give full thrust either. It's like it starts to flood itself maybe.

Has anyone experienced anything like this, where you expect more thrust (b/c you've flown it before and seen it work right) and can't get it now? Anybody know of any suggestions or tweaks for performance?


Thanks,
Nate
