In about 30-40 years. As I have posted in a few threads, I am a returning RC Pilot. I started the journey in June last year hoping to fly by October. Well, things just get in the way.

But, today I got to start my OS engine. It went well with a few minor problems. I couldn't figure out fuel flow direction on fuel filter so I had to open it up. Spinner came off on first start attempt. Flooded engine. Had to check for hydro lock. Didn't know the glow igniter had a twist to lock feature. took a while to figure how to get it off. Just minor stuff.

Then the the engine started and I went thru the run in procedure for a full tank. It sure felt good. The fuel smell brought back memories. Hope to have a plane in the air next week. Then the more difficult starts.

I made a simple engine test stand and also a temporary fueling station.
