Hi Marc

I think you hit it on the head when you mention the softer starts achieved with other engines.

If you go by the standard out of the box parameters, the RAM engine goes off like a firework. Flash, bang, whoosh, and it's off and running with flames and stuff pouring out the back.

With a little bit of TLC and a bit of patient adjustment, I can get my engines (2 RAM 1000R's and a 500R) to start exactly like a Jetcat, or similar, and in any weather. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

All it (usually) has taken to achieve this, has been a few test runs on a bench or even in the model.
