RE: New Motor ISSUE, Please Help.

Technically you could use any one of the three products.  Your goal is to insulate the conductors from other conducting wires.  Heat shrink would be the easy item to use.

RE: engine puffs in air...

You could try reducing the throttle while in the dive.  I know it will slow the plane down, and therefore reduce the effectiveness of your high speed pass, but this could confirm the theory of over...

RE: Annoying people at the field.

I like the ones that always ask you, "when you going to buy "x"" just because that is what they like to fly.  There is always someone in a group of people that is a "know it all", or talks to much. ...
