Default RE: 1/2A Size Boat Club

Ok thanks for the info, I'll go ahead and see if I can grab myself one of those perfect tanks...
The Drag 'N fly I chose was the .40 size. What I've been doing was looking at the discounted boats on the Dumas website. I wasnt aware of the .20 size and I havent gotten my catalog yet.
  I took the head off and the back plate, needle screw and spring and hosed the engine inside and out w/ wd-40 and it cleaned up pretty nice, and now it turns over very easily. I tried bidding on a new cylinder & piston for a medallion .049 but lost out by .50 cents! But I will replace it when I can...
I do have the original instrurtions for my engines and it explains about the pre drilled (starter hole) in the back plate if one wishes to get some presure that way...I'll try it on one of my engines to get some presure in the fuel tank.
Other than that, theres lots of parts online and performance upgrades for these little guys....
