Thanks for a very good video. I'd never touched my wastegate control and had been told by an "experienced" Rotax guy to ensure that there was always a litle "play" in the cable, there was, so I never touched it. How easily we can be led astray by "experts".
Having watched the video I set the 1 - 2mm tension as instructed and (with a fixed pitch prop) went straight into engine overspeed on the first take off. I was watching to see if the adjustment made any difference so caught the overspeed quickly.
I now have to change the prop pitch to get take off revs back to below 5800 but that will be a pleasure.
Thanks again, keep working on the carb strip down video.
