Never got the thunder storms. The weather was gorgeous. S about 9 am I said to the wife lets try this. So we went out to the site I had found. Did all the set ups, and adjusted the line centering.

But I could not get even a pop from the engine. It was not getting a drop of fuel. Found the feed line had a cut at the tank, so I replaced and still would not feed. I finally had to give up when my back stated screaming louder than I could stand. I will solve this here at at home.

I am going to have to make something to put the airplanes at a comfortable height when setting up and starting. I think maybe a old second hand TV tray might be a good starting point. I had my back brace on and with my gut: bending means no breathing. I really do like breathing, a lot. Plus bending hurts like bloody h____!

Also using my starter box to hold the stooge was not a good ideal. That puts the starter cord in a really bad place. So next time I will use a pair of real large nails into the ground to hold it.

So some problems to resolve with my fuel system. I will work on those and do some short engine test on the apartment patio. The kids around here make more noise, and I don't mind that; so I will make a little noise just to sort out my running problems. And doing it here means I can elevate things to a comfortable height.

The control handle removable line plate was a great ideal.I can unroll and re roll easily. I can also leave the plate at the circle center, while having the TX beside the plane when starting, and the once it is stated re-attach quickly at the circle center.

I will shoot for next Saturday again.
