Randy:

Mount the new McCoy Friday evening, give it a run to set the needle. First start was usually a bit hard, but once the needle was set they were OK. And by the time you had the needle set the engine was broken in.

On Saturday we'd only make eight or ten flights on each plane, that way we had a little bit of engine left for Sunday.

Then on Sunday afternoon we'd fly until the engine didn't have enough compression left to restart.

I never said they didn't run well, had they been lousy running engines we would not have gotten them even at $4 each.

They just didn't run very long.

Bill.
