Default RE: Engine wouldnt turn???

Yep, just A little something you have to watch out for. First time it happened to me was after A fun fly event, you have seen the photos of all the guys holding up there planes with the nose down. After the photo I wanted to fly some more!!! I always roll my engines over by hand before I put on the glow driver and hit it with A starter, wow, was that engine locked up. That's the day I was taught the drain trick, lucky I was in the habit of rolling my engines over too, I just never put two and two together about the way we hold our planes flooding them. Good luck to ya.
