David,
Why do you say we can't break in the engine at the field? I'll ask how long Dean ran it, but most engines don't require more than a tank or two to get to the point where you can fly them. (Just run them on the rich side for a few more.) (Which engine do you have? I knew but don't remember.)
I have a buddy cord and spare transmitter that I'll bring, so that won't be a problem.
Did you ever buy a starter or glow igniter? Because I have that spare igniter/charger, and I still have the starter that I bought for you here (on RCU). If you bought a starter don't worry about it. It didn't cost all that much, it's a good one, and there's always someone looking for one.
By the way, weather's looking good so far for Sunday.
