My first engine was a K&B .29 on ignition. Damaged it on my first U/Control flight, sent it in for repair, and bought a K&B .24, on ignition. Same result. Got the .29 back and finally soloed a Goldberg "Zing". All of this was in 1946 or '47. Not too much longer and the glow plug came out, and I ran the Ohlson .23 front rotors, Forester .29, etc. Too many to count now, and loved'em all (well, maybe MOST of them)!

Was that "Zing" or "Zinger" (don't remember which) the one with the machine carved fuselage and wings, the bellcrank out on the wingtip? I flew mine many times powered by that K&B .24 once I got rid of all the ignition stuff and installed a glo-plug. Boy, was that a long time ago. [8D][8D]..........RJ
