Well I hope your NGH runs as well in the air as it does on the ground. Let us know.
Too bad you had troubles with your RCGF. What's it powering and hows it doing? How long ago did you get it? Do they have a newer version of it or is it the current engine?

Agape rebuilt it but by then I had crashed the AC I was going to put it on.
Last week I pulled out this old Lazy Ace and installed it. I have just fiinshed breaking it in again.. Its turning a 17/6 prop at 9800 rpm.
Ill let you know how it works out.
The RCGF engine I had seized shortly after I started it. The bearing cage on the rod bearing came apart. I contacted Joe and he gave me a new engine. I could not get the new engine to respond properly. Joe took it back and worked on it but it still would not respond. The carb needles had to be way off to get it to run.
Then I got the note from Bowman. I took the crankcase apart and cleaned up the flashing, and sealed it with silicon seal. It now runs with the carb needles where they should be. The choke even works now.
