Recyled Flyer... Interesting on the ice cube thing, I was conservative on the term shower, it was a downpour it is likely the miss was due to water ingestion
certainly the carb would have sucked some in, think you called this one thx . My glow time is limited to 4 strk I do have some Saitos, ASP/magnums and an OS 4strk
but almost all my flying is with diesel much easier no plug or battery issues

With the limited use of the the 4 strokes after a run I put a small amount of davis fuel in them and run for a very short time ( with the glow plug attached)
this rinses out any trace of nitro or alcohol. the castor and kero does a great job. I have never lost a bearing or had a corrosion or rust issue. In the factory
sheet that came with my OS10 they state rinse the engine with kero if storing for any length of time interesting martin
