wallboy Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 My Vittorazi Easy 100 is currently using around 5L of fuel per hour so its obviously being very thirsty. I have not checked the carb settings yet as I would like to know how others are using their engines so if you use a Vittorazi Easy100 or Fly100evo, how is your carb set up? I don't want to set them at standard operation just yet as I would like to know how other users have theirs set at. Please ONLY answer this if you fly with these engines.

James243 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hi Wallboy. I have an Fly Evo 100, fly a Speedster 28 and I weigh 90kg. I get 3 litres/hr with trimmers and doing about 35kph. With trimmers out I use 5litres/hr doing about 53kph. The wing you use will make a big difference to fuel consumption. So you really need find someone who uses the same wing as you to get comparisons. I don't know much about setting up carburettors but just adjust the screw until my spark plug is medium brown.

morgy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 5lph is not that bad IMO but is this trims out or trims in? I can burn around 10lph+ on one of my small wings with my moster.. If the plug colour is good and it aint broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallboy Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks guys I didn't think the wing would really have an effect on the fuel consumption buy hey, you learn something new every day. The wing I currently fly does not not have trimmers and the weather has been too rubbish to get out my new paramotor wing to compare against my older wing. I changed the spark plug on the motor about 5 hours ago so I will have to check it and see what its like now. Maybe I should just invest in a larger tank so I haven't got to keep worrying and checking my fuel so often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi You can't just look at the plug you have to do a proper plug chop.. If your worried about fuel burn you really shouldn't have bought a moster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik_Y Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I think fuel/distance is a better measurement as we can go from 30-65km/h with todays gliders and the speed makes a big difference to fuel/time but not much on fuel/distance. I measured my Easy 100 to around 0.7-0.8l/10km on my speedster 19m at 95kg hook in. My previous engine which where a Radne 120 used about 1l/10km with an Ozone Buzz 23m. I think that 1l/10km is a pretty average figure so if you're close to that you don't need to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
