|
|
I have KF II with Rotax 582 (blue head) in the past was equipped with 582 (gray head) that nearly destroyed itself by ticking. I felt it on the rudder pedals like someone had hit the airframe with a small hammer. Or as you put it list a hit on the rudder. After trying everything while at Sun N Fun I talked to a guy at the LEAF booth that said the engine was too lean. He was absolutey RIGHT. This can occur due to a variety of causes but the result is the same. You'll end up with a nice circular hole in the dome of the pistion unless you correct it.
