I pulled the fuel tank out of the plane yesterday morning. First thing I noticed was the vent tube inside the tank was touching to the tank. It looks like I can rotate the tank so that the carb fuel line will be more in line with the carb itself when installed. At the moment it sets about an inch above the carb with the engine mounted inverted. So I'm thinking what I need to do is make some longer fuel hoses, not too much longer and cut away some of the tank mount balsa to make the tank sit lower. I may also get an new tank setup. Tubing in the tank plug are all plastic. The engine turns easily with all the lines disconnected, so I know it's just a problem with too much fuel dumping into the engine when I try to start it. And another problem, this morning I attempted to hook up the Jr 1500 NiMh battery to charge it, and my charger is not picking up the connection. Hooked the charger up to another plane I have and it works fine. So I'm thinking bad battery. Beginning to think this plane is cursed!! HA! I love the plane, but it will be some time before I'm experienced enough to fly it. So I have time to get it right before it's maiden flight.
