If the sound of the engine remains unchanged when diving during
flight and stick response is lost, this indicates that there is too much
fuel being supplied to the engine. Try adjusting TmL or TmM in the (-)
direction.
Is the air control linkage to weak so that the operation of the air valve
either stops or is delayed relative to the operation of the servo? (Try
using a thicker component for the linkage.)
Is the carburetor operating? (Check the carburetor retainer.)
Are the rubber dampers of the engine soft mount too soft?
Are the rubber dampers of the soft mount damaged?
Is the throttle linkage sticking?
Is the linkage too weak causing it to be affected by vibrations?

Is the servo malfunctioning or is the servo mount loose?
Is the propeller size correct?
Is the engine running at 8,000 rpm or higher?
Is there an abnormality in the engine soft mount (cracked)?
