Today we started to work out that when we gave it full throttle... and someone picked up the plane, shook it.. moved it arround all axes, it would cut.
When you picked it up and shook it, were you pointing the nose skywards? If so, and the engine stops, you may be running the engine too lean. Richen it up a 1/4 turn to the left - or a couple of hundred revs below max, and give it a go. Whatever it is, I hope you find the problem, nothing worse than an unrealiable engine to unsettle your nerves when flying.
