ok thanks alot dave, and all u others...i really appreciate all your help. im going to order an OS #8 plug, and am probably going to go with 5% nitro fuel that has 20% castor/synthetic blend (as the manual strongly recomends). as for the break in, ill run it rich for a coupple of tanks then fly it a little rich as well for a while, as you guys seem to be saying. anymore tips, tricks and suggestions would still be appreciated.

Thanks again,
C. Grant

oh, btw, for the radio setup, is up elevator achieved by pushing/pulling the right stick back or forward? (just wanted to know if its the same as full-size where for up elevator, you pull back on the stick.)
