Probably too lean...I'd keep it close to full rich unless it's stumbling 
or something, until you can get it to altitude and see how far out you 
can lean it before a cylinder starts missing.  Are you sure you're 
getting full travel on the mixture lever with your control knob?  It 
didn't seem like enough travel, but that's all dependent on the 
geometry, so maybe so.  I really doubt it could ice up that quickly, 
especially with the temps we've had lately.

Anytime the engine starts stumbling, my number one suspect is mixture. 
This is where one glance at the mixture meters usually clears the matter 
up in a microsecond...

*Today is historic here as well.  N769KR took to the air for first 
time.  I found the rudder and elevator was okay but ailerons highly 
sensitive.  Took off from ground like a bat out of h... I'm thinking 
STOL performance.  Maybe my imagination. Problem with tail wheel spring 
too light for it hit the bottom of my rudder. What a ride!
Happy flying.

really help!   :)

thanks
