Default RE: What was your first engine?

First engine, a .29 Pierce, about 1946 or 7, had 3 planes, 2 control line and 1 free flight, just changed the engine when I wanted to fly each one, was flying it when the glow plug came out about 47 or so, thought I had died and gone to heaven couldn`t wait to get all the condensers etc, stripped out of the planes, and my fingers healed up from changing the timing up behind the prop, still have the Pierce, don`t know why as I never touched another plane or motor till 2001, and then went ballistic, have way to many now.....thanx...John
