Only 2 entries in .15 rat Sunday both scale racers. best race of the day, it was a comedy of errors, everyone was laughing yelling jokes and having a good time.

 321 go, I start my engine and get up other guy can't get his started. I come down and the glow plug is blown. I yell over " that was my last glow plug, if you can do 30 laps you win". He yells back "that might be a challenge". I scrounge in the run box and find a crappy old plug but it lights. Other guy gets going and I get up shortly after, the race is back on. We both come down and I blew the old plug I had in there but he can't get started. I walk over to the pit area and get my junk box out and find 5 new plugs I didn't know I had, other guy is still flipping. I get the new plug in, open the needle 1/2 turn and we both get up in the air about the same time.

Now it's a race to the finish. My plane was a little faster and I felt confident. Next pit my engine quits and plane is floating in with the tank flopping under the wing wtf? Solder on the tank mount let go and it's hanging by the tubing. I grab a bag of rubber bands I keep in the run box and stretch a bunch of them over the prop engine and landing gear still only grabs the front of the tank. Other guy landed and can't get re-started. I crossed my fingers and put mine back in the air. Rubber bands held for the win lol.
