...I'm trying to start my .90 size nitro 3D plane.
LF,


Maybe its because of the name you call it...[>:]

It is not a nitro engine. It's a glow engine, which uses methanol as its main fuel component...
It will easily run if there isn't even a drop of nitromethane in the fuel. But if there's not enough methanol, you can just forget it...

I couldn't care less what all your buddies call it; is is a glow engine and being a largish .90 size, a lot of nitro will just make it run worse.
Picky, picky, get up on the wrong side of the bed, Dar?
