Oh, and just for sharing with you guys, I took the plane to the field with me yesterday morning to show it to a couple of my flying buddies
. Well, they said they were impressed
. After a few minutes of chatting, one of my friends and I got down on the ground and he held it while I fueled it up then fired up the engine. OMG
!! Gentlemen, none of us were ready for what happened
.... the sound
!! .... the rpm
!! .... the power
!! .... the dirt, grass and sand that it blew all over my buddy
!! It was incredible
!! I have to admit, I was a bit nervous about moving my hand back to needle the engine
but thankfully after about 20 seconds, we think it may have blown the plug
. After that, all I did was defuel, wipe it down and put it back in the van
. None of us had the "nerves" left to try again, besides, I had forgotten to bring the spare glow plugs with me
. Hopefully, we will have our "hearts" back and be ready for a crazy adrenaline rush the next time I bring it to the field
