I guess I didn't make myself clear on weight. Total between myself and instructor was 400lbs and 120lbs fuel. 200lbs less than gross. Power issue was because fuel system was getting plugged up and eventually cut off fuel flow to one or more cylinders. Do you guys rest your arm on a knee pad so your hand in on the cyclic grip or do you just adjust as needed to operate the trim? My grip when resting my arm on my leg is about 3 inches below the trim and I'm not a tiny person.
By the way I would have to fly 4 hours to get to an instructor I trust that has Enstrom experience. Obviously the seller didn't fly it right. He never leaned the mixture. The mechanic/instructor he had didn't even clean the spark plugs and fuel injectors on last annual 20 hours ago and even had the wrong pin on the fuel screen cup which allowed the debris to bypass it.
