Anyone using an Aerocarb with the optional air filter on a GP 2180? I flew my Sonerai II LT for the first time today. Static rpm with a 53x43 prop is 3100. Engine runs very smooth on the ground. The problem is: after liftoff the engine runs rough and the plane will climb at only 150 fpm. When running rough, the mixture seems to be rich. Also, the oil temp gets up to 250 deg. When I throttle back below 3000 rpm, it runs smooth again. The engine will not turn over 3100 rpm in the air. Almost as though something was restricting the air intake. Is it possible the airfilter is not big enough?
Thanks
