HI John,
Finelly winter has come to Wy.I don't mind winter time to build airplanes.I am a stick builder.No flying this past week end. I did do some engine R&D.We run my friends Evolution 15 on Gas glo also the Valley view 20.Both seemed to run OK.
Had to use starter on the Evo 15.VV20 would hand start after warm up. I will leave my engines on spark.I remember the glo plug days.Glo battery always dead,can't find it,loaned to fellow flier and etc.
There are some fliers that just can not get along with the ignition systems and Walbro type carbs.Maybe they can use the gas glo.I do not no why I am doing this .I guess I just like to do R&D.Or maybe just dumb.
Happy Thanksgiving
