Well guys I finally got the O.S. 40 LA motor running . It is amazing how easy it starts when the glow igniter is charged properly. YEP thats all it was. I only used the electric starter one time and then I was able to just flick it twice and then it would turn over . I definitely need to fine tune it because it cuts off when I give more throttle and , I'm not sure if it is normal for it rattle the entire plane so vigorously. Some times it was running smooth as a bowling ball down an alley . So thanks a million without all of the info in this post I would have definitely gave up on fuel powered engines.


PS does any body have a sound bite of how the engine should sound when tuned properly ?
