Default RE: Question: Flight time

Im about ready to break it in. I actually tried today. yesterday i got a glow-driver that takes a D-battery. when i got home, i realized that i dont have any D-batteries [:@]. how dumb was that!! I rigged it up with a C-battery, with a little clip to fill the space in. I just put it on my spare glow plug to make sure it worked, and it glowed, so I went and tried it. Flipped it over with a chicken stick. but i could hear this little gurgling noise when I primed it, and when I flipped it.. I thought it was just the carb mixing the fuel with the air. then it clicked (my brain clicked, of course, not the motor)... there was a hole in the fuel line right before the carb!!!! [:@] put another line in, and within 10 minutes, i was ready to go. Flipped it... Flipped it... It fired in little bursts for no longer than 1/2 a second, 4 times, i think. Then it wouldn't go. for.. 25 minutes about, I kept trying, but the C-batt was kinda old so it was pretty much dead by now, and I couldnt find another [:@]. Since I live 30 minutes from the nearest store, and the fact that im only 15y/o [:@], I will have to wait for another day to try it out again, with a D-batt, of course. I cant wait!!!! ugh. lots of [:@] 's in there, eh? heheheh.
