Hello Troy,

Welcome to RC!!! The buzz is better than alcohol isn't it
You just want to grin all day

Anyway, if you think you have flooded the engine then do not try to restart the engine as you might have a hydro-lock (is that the correct word?) - with a chick stick it wont be such a problem but with an electric starter, you could damage the engine so clearing a flooded engine is a good habit to get into. What I was taught to do with a suspected flooded engine was to try and turn the engine with your hand (with out the glow starter installed ) and see if the engine locks up, if so, the engine is flooded. Remove the glow plug and turn the plane upside down to let the fuel leak out.

I with Excap to check for bubbles but I don't think you are flooding it. Does it cut out when it's idling? If so, maybe your throttle trim is way down and with the engine cold, it's cutting out. Try upping the throttle a little (but not with your daughter holding it - use a cradle or hold down as Excap says before doing this).

What size / type of trainer do you have?

Happy Flying!
