Default RE: New project

I was a little worried when I finally screwed a glow plug into my brand new GMS .32 yesterday morning in preparation for a break-in run....This thing has almost NO compression!! I can feel the "click' at TDC like an ABC motor should have but it just seems to have zero resistance..On a hunch, I checked the head screws and you guessed it, all but one was not only loose but backed off a couple turns!![:@] All ends well, after I tightened everything up, she fired right up and broke in nicely! This motor really screams!! Unfortunetly I was only able to squeeze in a 4oz tank so flights wont be very long. I'm not a "fly around at full throttle" kind of flyer so I'm hoping for about 10 mins. This plane was designed around an old Veco .19 so I think this .32 will be way overkill so it should be fun!!
