How much is too much wetness?

Could you say that again?

Please?

Actually, this thread has brought up a good question... how do Nitro engines react to "extreme" humid conditions. I would say today was not extreme, but it was quite foggy outside nonetheless... I had the stock air filter on the entire time. I am not sure how much H20 it collects.

I would imagine you guys in Florida run quite lean during the humid summer months...

I have to confess, that I have recently upgraded my heli with a carbsmart - which is a heat sensor connected to a gizmo connected to the carb knob... My initial flights seem to indicate that it works really well.

My truck remains simple!

South Louisiana, tuning here is about as bad as it gets, we have random spikes in temp during the day, the humidity level can go from 30% to 95% in under an hour, so it sucks to tune here, but it is possible. Just gotta keep the temp gun and lil flathead screwdriver handy for every 10-15 min or so.
