Today I broke out one of my full fuselage Cavaliers.  Primed the AT .36, 7 sharp flips, hooked up the glow plug and as always, one hard flip off it roared. Very nice take off if I say so myself.  Then at midway in the third level lap the engine made a pop and stopped instantly . Oh, oh. Very nice level glide to a 40 point landing. I thught the prop had come loose. Nope, but no compression. Hmmm.  I put up the plane and we flew others.

   Ha! Nothing like that ever happened to me! Certainly not during the 7th round of the 1982 Middle Earth Stunt championships at Kearney Field  in Lexington, Kentucky, right after my triangles.

   Actually, the only difference for me was that I knew *immediately* what had happened, because the engine took half a lap to spin down. It was *real quiet*.

  Wow!  Sounds like something that happened to me!!  However, in my case, that same strange eerie silence occured shortly after touchdown  !!   

That  " pop "  noise   is  an  option with the  Aero Tiger,  if you do not  want the  popping noise, you can make sure you have a good  crush washer and add significant  torque  to the  electric device , centered in the  head   :-)
