Default Help with Hangar9 Edge 540

I chose a Moki for a few reasons.

First they have class leading power and reliability. Top Gun pilots still use more Moki 2-stroke glows than any other. I'm turning a 20x8 wood prop at 7,700 lean rpms and 7,500 ready to fly with a 1.8. My 2.1 should produce 26lbs of thrust with a 20x10 according to ModelAirplaneNews' review.

Secondly, I store all of my planes in my basement where I have both a gas furnace and a gas water heater. Gas fumes are extremely explosive and also tend to sink and travel...an ideal combination for an explosion with a gas water heater which has a burner located at its base.

Third, my wife would have major issues with the smell of gas in the house. And yes, she would smell them.

Fourth, I transport my planes in a 2002 Durango which I would not want to pollute with gasoline smell.

I know that steps can be taken to seal and help eliminate spillage, but knowing how reality filters into my hectic schedule sooner or later I would have a few drops.

FWIW.

Mike
