Mont, I love the avatar!

Yes I tested it on the ground. Throttle response was great. However I have to watch not to go to far down (last click) or she will die if I am up anywhere above a few notches for any period of time.

Thanks for the advice and words o' wisdom. My feelings are that I just might have the same issues with an OS engine, but it won't be as finiky. I play around with my brothers OS engine on his plane,..and it start immediately (after sitting around all winter) and the remote needle valve makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

BUT If I can't get this thing running predictable, then it is useless to me. I probably could sell it right now to the local hobby store for $20 cutting my new engine costs down. But I would love to get her running, broken in, then make an opinion based on REAL data...not my newbism experiences ya know? I heard good things about Enya, and would like to give them the full benefit of doubt before tosses it aside.

Off I go soon to play around, I may take off...dunno. I'll update ya all. I will only takeoff if it reacts as I wish.
