As we both know now to our cost-you have to get in quick with these little gems-whether they be Benno Schlosser's, Arne Hende's, Dave Banks'/VA or Ian Russell's ones-supply is strictly limited-and 5 or 10 years down the track you're kicking yourself for not getting one when you had the chance....

I've had the Tadpole since about 2000 I think-along with a 0.8cc Oliver Tiger Cub that also emanates from the same stable-judging by the style of the box artwork.

more prop tests to follow..............now having a small plethora of checked and re-balanced props to play with.............

On reflection I was probably unduly harsh on the starting properties yesterday(probably because it was a bit gummy and clogged up from previous runs 2 years ago)-while it certainly isn't a first flick starter, I didn't mean to imply that it was difficult to start. It responds well to finger choking (the suction is enormous-you can see the fuel level in the tank drop when you choke it), a couple of drops in the intake and a miniscule exhaust prime.
