RE: "newbie" prop question

ORIGINAL: Sandore

Hi All,

I have a Dynaflite Piece O' Cake that had a Black Widow .049 on it that I bought & built 20+ years ago. I broke the engine in back then, possibly didn't apply proper after-run lube, but when I finally dusted that plane off to fly it recently I can't get the Cox running right. Probably has an air leak, which I will continue to work on, but after trying a few things to get it running with no success, I ordered a new .049 OK Cub engine.
Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated.

Problem = lack of horsepower from anemic .049 OK Cub engine.

Myself, I'd get that BW running right before ordering anything else. Maybe Proptop has the magic pill in terms of the standard anti-leak remedies to apply to reedies.
