When I had the plane apart ( ie: muffler off, engine off and tank out ) I took the stopper out of the tank and inspected the insides. Didn't see anything there. Did notice I need to tip the plane nose down to de-fuel effectively though. Reassembled everything. Installed a new deflector. Started it up last night and it fired right up. Adjusted the needle so it was running just slightly rich. Engine seemed to run fine. Also de-fueled it to about half full. (About the level it cut out while flying @ the field.) Ran fine there too. De-fueled it further and still ran fine.

Am I missing something or is it OK to try again?

P.S. to JAKA

The tank is 250cc. About 8.5 oz. Sucking tongue test??? I'm new to R/C planes. I'm not sure what that is. Can you explain that? The plane is an RTF NextSTAR. There is some foam, but I wouldn't say lots. Using 10% nitro fuel. The prop came w/ the plane & is 11X5 nylon. Glow plug is A3. Engine is set slightly rich. What does holding the nose up & checking the setting do for you. What would I be checking for?

Thanks for all the suggestions and tips. It's great to have such a source of info.
