Hey Montague,

I have to admit, you are pretty spot on about me needing professional help. The issue is really that I need to find someone who lives near me (Detriot Area), and will help me for nothing or next to nothing.

I looked at a few R/C clubs in the area, but they all want you to be AMA and some others have dues also-I'm willing to pay, but not before I have an engine that starts-the whole chicken and the egg syndrome.

The reason I have to yank the tank out is that the fuel line is smaller then the nozzle on my fuel refilling thingy. The hobby shop I go to seems to have an idiot in there who keeps selling me the wrong parts (don't get me started on the battery he sold me to start this thing that was WAY underpowered). I need to make an adaptor that'll go from the too big size to the smaller one, apparantly...

Also, to autopilot, my engine is not inverted

All I can say to you guys is thanks for the help so far-I'm really frustrated with incompentance in being unable to start this thing and with the service I've recieved from my hobby shop so far (they won't help me with the starting problem).
