Hi There,
I've just finished breaking in my FG60R3. Went perfectly. Never had to touch the low end mixture. Throttle response is smooth and instantaneous.

One question: I found I had to choke the carb with my finger to get it started. Necessary to pull the fuel up from the tank, which is a bit below the carb, unfortunately. Has anyone else had this experience? I'd like to avoid putting a choke mechanism in the bowels of the plane, and moving the tank higher is difficult in my model (a scratch built 1/5 scale Mr. Mulligan)

Thanks!
