It's much better.

I waited a day before trying the Wildcat. It flew much better. I was able to get in a full pattern finally.
I removed the needle valve assembly from the Wildcat engine and installed one of the new ones that I don't like. I had cut the needle shorter and tapered the tip a bit. I ran it at home and it held a steady rpm so I'll try it in the air soon. If that works out I'll shorten another the one on the ASP engine.
