The seller on ebay has contacted me three times varifying information about my spark plug and making sure I am getting exactly what I need.. He seems very knowledgable.. his abay name is syssaaircraft and I can highly recommend purchasing from him.

I took all the parts off my motor last night and weighed the flywheel, magneto and spring starter.. They weighed in at 1lb 2oz ... I'm either going to use the original motor mount and lighten it up as much as I can.. or else use standoffs.. the ignition will probably add back 6-8oz I'm thinking.

has anyone had good luck using AAA NiCD or NiMH packs? I would estimate I fly much less than 2 hours at a time since I always take more than one airplane.. I'm thinking the next place to look at loosing weight will be in the pack used to fire the ignition.
