Dar,

Here is a copy of my E-mail to Bill Baxtor.
---------------------------------------------------

Hi Bill,

1. May I please have your comments as to why, according to several folks on the RCUniverse board, the OS 46FX is shipped with break-in instructions that will harm the engine.

2. May I please have OS instructions on proper break-in procedure.

3. Is the rod/crank slop that is evident with piston at TDC normal without plug installed?

4. I've been out of the hobby for a while. I just bought what is probably my fifth or so OS engine. What in the world is OS thinking by selling engine without a glow plug? I believe in using OEM parts, but now I have to question the wisdom of this. The manufacturing cost a glow plug surely cannot be greater than the loss of customer contentment with the product. I will probably try other plugs recommended by others.

You may wish to look at my thread on RC Universe.

Thanks.

Robin
