Thanks guys. I actually got if fired up last night with the tank on the fuse floor. Actually had a hard time getting it going and it ran fine for 3 - 4 mins and then I never got it fired again. I think i need to keep the tank somewhat full as last night it was just enough to get her started and was jumping around a bit and possibly sucking some air.. Think maybe my ignition bat was a bit low also. I have run maybe 4 - 5 tanks of fuel through this motor and it seemed to run pretty good.... Don't think it is even broken in yet, but it has always been pretty easy to get started. Last night was a bit concerning cause it was hard to get her to fire. Once she fired she would start right back up, but hen became fussie and didn't want to go. Like I said before maybe was too low on fuel and a bit low on bat??
Let us (me?) know what your plans are for motor and batteries when you've given up on that smelly gas thing Lipos are now a great option for the 70" class [8D] Thinking of a 7S Hacker for my 69" plane.
I have two other smaller electric planes and I do enjoy flying them. Gonna give this gasser a good try.. Like the sound, the power, and the extended flight times attainable. I had a 4 stroke magnum on it previous and got tired of the clean up, and expensive fuel.
This gas thing may work out fine??
