gon grats you past stage 1 next step  use only one brand of fuel  and one brand of glow plugs when you test check the revs  and note the position of the needle valve if it colder the nedle will go out and wheen its warm the needle will go in keep a note of how much to establish the normal amount the needle moves  if this moves more than normal you have a problem    tips   buy your galon of fuel  wash the empty jug the filter the new one into it also filter the fuel into the filling bottle  and use an inline fuel filter  then clean all filters  regularly  also try to stick to the same brand of prop as  any changes will likely   ghange  the position of the needle valve to lean  to get the same revs  its to loaded  result lean run if the needle goes out for desired revs you have no load the plane will limp round  all the prop testing can be done in the garden whilst taking note of the needle valve position  whe you have compiled lots of data this proces will become much easier  remember the 6 pees                   proper preparation prevents @#$% poor performance   phone me any time    roy
