Hey buddy you left out some of the best pics! ;-)
Sorry that the spit didn't get a chance to fly today... And steal your prop so your chip was grounded too :-P
Here is a link to the 'vanessa rig' I mentioned to check the CoG:

Hey matey!
Thanks for the link! I'll go into it a bit more tomorrow as I bookmarked it! Sure will help to get the C.G. of the Spit just right!

The FA120 turns a 15x8 Graupner prop which remains to be tested as The Spitfire has flown only twice with this setup. Your engine is exactly the same as mine, a FA120s GOLD RK I guess that you don't have this problem? What do you do to start this engine without problems?
Hi again!
I must say first,
that i got the engine
USED and since i got it i use only
CoolPower 15% N
-18% oil,
and
APC 16x6.
I also use a Type F glowplug from OS.
The engine just keeps making me
happy.
I start her normally,
using my
Sullivan starter and a
good prime.
One thing that i must point out is that i have set the
HS NV at
1-1/8turns ,
out from
fully closed.
