Default RE: Club FOX!

Tight engine? Slow break-in? That first 15BB took almost 10 sessions to get it loose enough to spin with a Sullivan starter. I was cutting fingers and gloves on the prop, it was so tight. I had to use a plastic screwdriver handle to flip the thing. But, by the second day, it would run out a tank of fuel every time. About 22 minutes on 4 ounces. Put out it's best using an 8.5-4.5 wood prop. At least that was the prop that flew the plane the best.
