Good points all, I never would have thought to wrap a rag around the engine to catch any fuel that would still be in the engine, I do have nitro trucks and cars so I'm familiar with after run oil. Also what I've noticed is that there is no air cleaner on the carb, it just seems strange to me because with the trucks and cars it's imperative that an air cleaner be used with those models, the only thing I can think of is because the plane is in the air, and not on the ground being subjected to dust and debree. It's snowing pretty good here so either tomorrow or the day after My plane and I will make the trip to the hobby shop and let the gentleman who is going to teach me how to fly my new girl, go through her to make sure I did everything right. Also there is a few strips on Monokote tape that came with the plane, it's used to cover the glued seem on the wing, but I've never done that, nor do I have a special iron for that, so Im going to just let the hobby shop do that.
