Default RE: OS .46 problems...

Thanks Chuck and Steve,
Unfortunately I do not have a club or instructor near by(Memphis, TN). I've searched high and low on the web but to no avail. My Brother has been helping me get started, however he lives out of state. I knew the oil build up was normal, but this amount seemed excessive. I was hesitant to remove the limiter but will try that next. Incidentally, I crashed the plane on my 2nd flight. I would like to think the engine trouble caused me to crash but this is not the case, a split second loss of concentration and bright afternoon sun doomed the beautiful plane. Damage was no too bad, wings and tail are OK, but the fuselage where the wing attaches (the pieces that looks like the windshield) behind the engine mount took the full impact. I'm going to try to repair the damage rather than buy the ARF kit as I really enjoy that aspect of this new obsession.
Thanks again.
