Well I finally got my U-Can-Do 3D in the air for all of 15 seconds. Almost as soon as I started my left bank out of the takeoff role she stalled on me. Lucky for me this plane will float forever, managed to get her back to the runway center line but quite a way past the end of the runway. Still a soft landing in very high grass and mud.

My Saito FA-100 was running perfectly on my bench. In the plane I started having problems -- my guess is the fuel tank position is just not suited. My biggest question is why? Everything I've read say this engine/plane combo is ideal. I have stood there after filling the fuel tank and watched the carburetor fill up with fuel with no priming action. This flooding continues even when I try to start the engine -- it just won't work.

Now I know there are others out there with this combo that have not gone to a regulator. I have a Cline Regulator available but would rather keep it for my Moki 180. The fuel tank position is obviously the problem, but how do I rectify that without major surgery on the former it sits in?
