Kfoss1, glad to hear you ordered one.

I looked it up on tower earlier http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXURN3**&P=ML
Expect it to cost less. Their prices are close to always lower when a new product arrives. And I highly doubt it will be $90 more than the AquaCraft Air Force but we'll see.

Status: offline 		Sorry all, it will be late August when the Alligator Tours will be available. We had to source a new glow plug at the last minute, which was scheduled to arrive at the end of this month. Takes a good plug when pushing
The plug we had was only good for 2 - 3 minute run. New plug is a LR3 made by O.S., it is very good plug.

If any of you are near Evansville, IN from the 17th to 26th of this month, plan to have one there to run after a day of racing. Can't wait to try taking it around the buoys

Have fun!
Russ

Status: offline 		We found only one plug that works really well so you are not chasing the needles throughout the run and have a good transition from idle to full throttle, that is the DTXG3010 LR3 plug;
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0095P?FVSEARCH=lr3

This is the plug that will be included. We tried 8 other types/brands. Some others will work, but not as good. I'd stay away from a "cold" plug.

Thanks,
Rw

Plug had to be changed because it is being used in a "pusher" application.

Thanks,

Anytime you take an airplane Glow engine and remove the needed air cooling from the prop you will have issues. When I saw Aquacraft's Gator I was very suprised.... it's a pusher. I just want to know who will warranty this engine when poeple burn them up. You know some JOE out there will be running on the ground full throttle uphill going 2mph not thinking of the needed cooling. Then he burns it up on the first day. I really hope this is not a bad move on Aquacrafts part. Seems if they would have stuck with the Airforce and made it better it would be better for our hobby.
