Wasn't there an instruction booklet in the kit???    I know John usually tells the basic set up for most of his kits.

Well, I can report that it flies.  It was very nose heavy - I have wheels on it.  Then I added 1/4 oz. of weight to the back.  It might be too much.  Still not getting good engine runs with these old Coxes.  We are tearing them apart and checking out the innards per recommendations on the engine set-up board.   

I and my brother are reading this. Seems like we ought to be able to get these things running with all of that. They run for about thirty seconds and then quit.  We're going to go through this regiment.

Thanks.
