The person that owned it before me ran 10% redline and 90% methanol, he had a total of an hour running with that mix. I have the Electrodynamics EDR 103 glow driver once the engine was primed it started on the second flip by hand. Here is a picture of the engine and what its going in. The plane is a Yellow Aircraft AT-6 Texan should be a good combination. I have only gotten through about 17 pages of this thread, I think I have the basic down on the maintenance, oiling after finished running for the day after it cools then checking it the next day. I try to run it every time I go to the field to finish the break-in. Must finish the AT-6! Does anyone know if the EDR glow driver uses the same method of igniting the glow plugs as the Sonic Tronics glow driver by pulsing voltage to the glow plugs.


the EDR does not pulse it is a constant glo on, I usually put it on a switch to turn on when starting and when warmed up a little I flip the switch off and fly,I never keep it on glo, only goes on again when starting!! works well!! the AT-6 looks great and should be a great combo!!.
