So today i did another gas oil mix of 40 to 1 synthetic oil and 91 octane gas and i also changed the prop to a Turnigy 14x8 3 blade and wow what a difference getting very good rpm and power to spare and a lot less oil mess.

The RCGF manual states,
"...... Always use high-quality oil intended for 2-stroke (2-cycle) engines. It's a good idea to use a petroleum based 2-cycle motor oil like Lawn Boy All Season – Ashless, Generation II oil for the break-in period. Break-in should be considered about the first 3-5 gallons you run the engine."
Not sure how many fellows used this oil but sounded like the motor wasn't fully broken in.
A flying friend has an RCGF 50cc that seemed to take a long time to break in.
Glad to hear its performing better now on a 40:1 mix.
