ORIGINAL: tripower222

I have an old FP 40 I purchased new 20 years ago. I learned to fly with it on a Goldberg Eagle II, ran it a few months ago, still runs great. Anyway if its a nickle cylinder it may survive. A hard chrome cylinder will likely be corroded. The most likely problem is the crank corrosion at the rod and bushing.
I'll take it apart for the experience if nothing else...
