G'day

I was running my 90TS today. It is in the Goldberg Anniversary Cub. I am hoping to fly it tomorrow at our club Fun Fly and I wanted to blow the cobwebs out. It ran fine as it usually does. I have flown it about 10 times now and it has never dropped a cylinder. I use two glow starters to start it then remove them. It does not need any glow assist when running. Today I only had one glow starter available, so I put it on one cylinder - started it on one cylinder then moved it to the second cylinder which immediately fired up.

I use 10% nitro, 5% castor oil, 15% Synthetic and 70% methanol and this seems to suit it well.

It is very easy to start, I usually prime it and flick it. I have set up a prime line to the prime fitting on the carby and I squirt a couple of ccs of fuel into it, turn it over a few times, apply power and flick and away it goes. I have found that it can be hard to prime it by blocking the exhaust and the direct prime to the carby works well.

It will fly your Kadet Senior well. I test flew mine in my ARF Kadet Senior. I did not fit the cowl round the engine as it was already cut for a single cylinder engine.

You will love the sound especially at idle.

Cheers
