These engines are very temperamental. I would never give advice on how to operate them, but I've seen enough of
them flown at the last two US team trials to know that they can be a hand full, so by all means seek advice. What
would be best, would for you to hook up with someone who can show you how they should be operated. There was
a US team selection event last October that selected the team to represent the US at the next world championships.
Unfortunately the world champ race has been postponed until next year. Just something as simple as the fuel is a
challenge, since these engines are set up for 80/20 alcohol and oil. I could share more cautionary tales, but suffice
to say if you want to have hours of frustration go it alone. Good luck, and let us know if you have success. By the
way, where are you located, because you might be near help, and not know it.
