Default Oh Brother...!!

I mean come on...Shame on me!!This is a modified trainer that I hung up years(9)ago due to a "balky"engine which began to quit in the air.I am now flying high performance stuff & have maybe 17 or so models ie/ sport,warbird,biplane,sailplane,slope,electric,sca
le,float,scratchbuilt etc.A couple of times over the years I have even taken the model down & gave it another try to no avail.It still quit in the air with fresh fuel & plug & cleaning & yadayada.For nine years I have had a perfectly good engine hanging above my head in my shop in a model with a kinked tank line!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!I couldn't spell a loud enough Homer Simpson "DOH!!!!" to express the one I felt!

Nor is the smilie I have selected near large enough to express the one I wore all yesterday afternoon,running a half gallon through that old trainer & I mean IN THE AIR!!!

Now the trainer retires for real & the engine finds new life in any number of projects...

Nine years modelling experience later & I overlooked one of the fundamentals...Oh well,It turned out to be a happy ending afterall.Thanks. Regards.M.Q.
