We can easily settle this once and for all. Roger can come up to the SMALL fly in next month and demonstrate his throttle in a plane. Combatpigg, Ragwing, BMatthews, Crankypants, Scudrunner, Fastlash and a few others are all within an hour or two drive, so it would be an excellent opportunity to let several of the forum members see for themselves.
Bipe Flyer,
Thank you for inviting me to the Northwest SMALL Fly on July 16 and 17, 2005! We would really like to go to the event. However, we have been scheduled, for the last three months, to be hard at work on new "1/8A" products with our computer guru at the time of the SMALL Fly. So it just depends upon how much progress we can make with our "1/8A" projects. If we can get away, we will.
You said if the throttle was demonstrated at the SMALL Fly "We can easily settle this once and for all." Because you came up with this great idea, I would like to make you the following offer:
I will send you FREE SAMPLES of our entire line of "1/8A" products:
1. MICRO-FLITE/COX TD .010 “R/C” ENGINE
2. DUAL-LINE BALLOON FUEL SYSTEM
3. MICRO-CLEAN (cylinder devarnisher)
4. MICRO-GLOW FUEL (quart)
5. "1/8A" ENGINE MANUAL & HANDBOOK (latest edition: 108 pages)
In receiving our entire line of "1/8A" products, you would agree to put on a LIVE public demonstration of the MICRO-FLITE/COX TD .010 “R/C” ENGINE and our "1/8A" products for the SMALLsters at the Northwest SMALL Fly on July 16 and 17, 2005.
IF YOU ACCEPT THIS OFFER, YOU WOULD AGREE TO DO THE FOLLOWING AT THE NORTHWEST SMALL Fly ON July 16 AND 17, 2005:
GIVE A LIVE GROUND DEMONSTRATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MICRO-FLITE/COX TD .010 “R/C” ENGINE. I am going to be very specific on what MICRO-FLITE would like demonstrated! You would demonstrate:
1. An idle so low that even the very lightest multi-channel "1/8A" MICRO R/C planes will sit DEAD STILL on a paved runway.
2. An idle so low that the propeller will act as an AIRBRAKE for doing touch-and-go's.
3. Instantaneous throttle response from idle to full power.
4. The engine can hold for long periods of time any throttle setting from idle to full power.
5. The engine can run on idle, or any midrange throttle setting, for long periods of time, then, can be instantly throttled back up to full power.
6. A smooth and fully variable midrange for relaxing cruising flight.
7. The THERMAL EXHAUST THROTTLE has excellent OVERALL throttle performance.
8. LIVE tachometer readings that prove conclusively MICRO-FLITE'S rpm performance claims in the document: "MICRO-FLITE/COX TD .010 “R/C” ENGINE'S STATIC AND DYNAMIC RPM PERFORMANCE". For highest engine performance, you agree to devarnish the .010's inside cylinder wall with MICRO-CLEAN (chemical cylinder devarnisher), before doing LIVE tachometer readings for SMALLsters. You agree not to use any other devarnishing methods, especially nothing abrasive to devarnish the cylinder, which can cause excessive wear and, consequently, degraded engine rpm performance.
GIVE A LIVE FLYING DEMONSTRATION WITH THE MICRO-FLITE/COX TD .010 “R/C” ENGINE TO PROVE THAT IT PERFORMS AS WELL IN THE AIR, AS IT DOES ON THE GROUND. (If you have enough time to get a "1/8A" MICRO R/C plane ready.)
STUDY THE "1/8A" ENGINE MANUAL & HANDBOOK so that you have some basic knowledge of the unique features and parts functions of MICRO-FLITE'S THERMAL EXHAUST THROTTLE. (In this way you will be able to answer most of the questions asked about the throttle.)
PROVIDE SMALLsters WITH MICRO-FLITE'S RPM PERFORMANCE CLAIMS BASED ONLY ON THE CLAIMS IN THE DOCUMENT: "MICRO-FLITE/COX TD .010 “R/C” ENGINE'S STATIC AND DYNAMIC RPM PERFORMANCE". (This document is included with every "1/8A" ENGINE MANUAL & HANDBOOK.) NO OTHER RPM PERFORMANCE CLAIMS ARE MADE OR IMPLIED!! (MICRO-FLITE'S engine rpm performance claims have not been misleading, false, or exaggerated! However, in the past, false claims have been made about MICRO-FLITE'S rpm performance claims! This situation needs to be corrected.)
If you accept this offer, you will also have the option to be a MICRO-FLITE DEALER in Canada, but you are under no obligation to exercise this option.
Your demonstration at the Northwest SMALL Fly on July 16 and 17, 2005 would be the VERY FIRST LIVE DEMONSTRATION for SMALLsters of the MICRO-FLITE/COX TD .010 “R/C” ENGINE and MICRO-FLITE'S "1/8A" product line. After the incredible year long HULLABALOO on the RCU forums, it indeed would be a historic event for SMALLsters. They could come to the SMALL Fly and see it for themselves! As you said, "we can easily settle this once and for all." You are right!! 
Please seriously consider my offer!
Roger
P.S. MICRO-FLITE very much appreciates the courage of Joedirt2 (Zach) to bring to the RCU "1/8" forum the ACTUAL runway and flying performance of the MICRO-FLITE/COX TD .010 “R/C” ENGINE and his continued perseverance to communicate and succeed in very difficult and challenging RCU forums.
B. Mathews: Remember your PM to me? You suggested I offer video demonstrations of the performance of the MICRO-FLITE/COX TD .010 “R/C” ENGINE. If Bipe Flyer accepts my offer, you will now get to see LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS. What could be better?!!
Roger

RE: MICRO-FLITE .010 ENGINE!!!!!!! - 
. Didn't make me too happy so I looked at it and it had a burr sticking up on the surface that seals the cylinder. So I took 320 grit sand paper and did figure eight patterns until the burr was gone (careful not to take too much off and increase the compression ratio). And what do you know it fixed it. Runs and idles better and best of all it doesn't leak probably picked up some RPM also. Dose any one know if the competition prop works better. The black nylon prop probably flattens out at high RPM and decreases the pitch so the stiffer competition won't do that and keep it's pitch. I'm working on getting a tach but the LHS around hear has the basic stuff for lots of $$$ it would be cheaper to buy one off the Internet but it'll take a weak to get here. There is another LHS I haven't been to yet an they might have one but probably not a true quality one like some of yall got. 
Why not try it on a week day wouldent dream of it on a week end oh no. 
However having shared some correspondence with him I honestly believe that much of his manners and style are based on his enthusiasm for the hobby. As you are seeing it has rubbed some the wrong way and you're facing the fallout of that effect. The guys here are a good bunch and I would hope that we can all work past this initial rough beginning.
