But by all means don't let me convince you to do it my way, if your happy doing it one flight at a time, so am I.

Pat, I know what you say is true, but didn't I absolve myself by the above statement? I am not a dealer, nor am I affiliated with any company, I'm just an average Joe Blow. I am well aware of the "sue unto you" mentality, but as far as I'm concerned if you aren't coordinated enough, or careful enough to tune an engine with it running, your in the wrong hobby. I don't know anyone who flies glo engines that don't tune them running? Do you?

Now you know, Pat, I am not trying to argue with you, I have great respect for you, you have a lot to offer that I agree with.

Except propellers! LOL!!

Well, I always tune glow engines running, but IMHO they're a completely different animal considering the needles are pitched away from the prop, have larger knobs, aren't as sensitive, and are smaller (easier to wrap hand around). I'll stick to adjusting when off. I wasn't sure how you guys do it, but apparently most of you do it the same way I was proposing.

Thanks again!
