Default RE: Expensive paperweight engines

WowBagger,

It weighs 14.5 lbs. It's heavy because of all the fiberglass in the gear area and in other places. Despite it's weight, it 3d's great only when the engine would run. At least it dosent explode everytime it flops.(engine probs) The thing's got tons of power but it just wont run right...

Edible,
There was about half a tank of fuel left inside. How do I know? I looked through the gaping hole in the fuselage... Man I would have felt really stupid if I forgot to fuel it. It's a 180.

AKA Moki "Flameout" 180

Prophanger 1,
Thanks for the break in info, I will definitley do it next time, might save me all that trouble.

Ps- Right now, everything that possibly could have gone wrong on all of my planes and helis,.....DID[sm=punching.gif]
Stripped a very good servo while my heli (X-Cell Pro graphite 2) while it was sitting on the bench with less than a week of the contest that heli was giong to fly in. My T-3D II foamie was also flying for the video contest threw its pinion gear, which is the size of a kernal of corn in a big grass field. Had a ton of other trouble also.

Things are so bad right now that all that they can do is get better[], I'm hoping for the best...
