I made my first flight today and had an interesting event occur. I climbed up to 6500 ft to just do some quick stalls and then come right back down for landing. However, when I started to level off and pull the throttle back, I got to about 1400 rpm and the engine died. I tried everything thing to get it back but it would just crank and not start. I was about to shut everything down and prepare for a dead stick landing (I was directly over the airport) when I decided to try to restart like I would on the ground, with the mixture in idle cutoff. It came to life and ran better with the mixture pulled out quite a bit from full rich. I left it like this all the way to the ground and had no more problems.
Any opinions on what might have happened?
Its a Superior XP IO-320 with dual P-mags and Silver Hawk EX. I've got the data-log from the G3X touch through entire sequence of events so if any additional info is needed let me know. Thanks
