How to start the RCV
Brian:
I just bought an RCV 90 for my H-9 P-51. I am curently flying the plane with a YS 91 and the performance is quite good. My plan is to install the RCV and see what, if any, differences there are. I put about 1 hour and 20 minues on mine on the bench this past weekend. I plan to install the engine next week (after I get another hour on it). I will intially fly it with a two blade prop but I have pruchased a Zinger 17x10 three blade and a 16x10 four blade prop to try. I will keep you posted one the results.
Incidentally, I used a starter on my engine for the first hour of running. On the fifth 15 minute run and subsequent starts, I started the engine by hand. The thing it seems to like is to be chocked a lot. I covered the carb and flipped the prop over about 10-15 times. The engine started right up.
Later,
