Default RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?

Thanks Frill Throbin Man. I knew you were lurking out there somewheres. :P

I did that pinch thing earlier this year to exude like I knew what the heck I was doing. It raised up in RPM quickly and a decent amount. I will try your suggestions, thanks. I am however going to purchase a pair of sunglasses I like and that are shatterproof. Then purchase a long screw driver. That prop scares me and I get more and more complacent around it. That scares me even more. I've even had a nightmare about it.

I had to do some serious rigging to get my plane fueled today. Forgot my fuel bulb So I had to remove the tank and remove all those difficult parts just to pour the fuel in. When I got it disassembled the first time, what I poured out was very disguisting. It looked ORANGE and almost like a 50% oil content. I am wondering if there is some sort of filter you can put on your return line to ensure a good return instead of all that oil coming in.
Running this thing rich will extend the life of my engine correct? Its a enya 40 ss. Non ringed. Still seems to have alot of power and when I fly it on 3/4 to full power I scream through the air. Just wondering also how long (hours) can I expect to have this engine?

Thanks..
