Well, this is good.

She starts and runs awesome! She stopped running in flight the other day and I could not get her to start. She has been very challenging to hand start. When I mentioned this to Joe Nelson of RCGF-USA he smiled (it was an email, but I know he thought ti funny I was working my wimpy biceps so hard) and suggested not trying to hand start her until a couple of gallons went through her. I put my 12V starter on and shaboom.! Right away, ENGINE NOISE!  Adjusted the idle, which I think lead to the deadstick, and she seems rather happy. Once she warms a bit and breaks in more, I expect to be able to lower the idle a tad more, she is just barely producing thrust at idle.

I did swap out the nice carbon fiber nose cone for the painted Ultimate Style one so I don't mar the nice one.

This motor tried to lift the back of the table off the ground! Some kinda power, and what a sweet sound!

Baby, Daddy's goin' flyin'!
