Just a short hop in my garden. You would not believe the hassle I have had to get here. I had to buy a new engine as I fried the first one. Forgot to connect the pressure pipe from the tank to the muffler and screw my piston and liner. It was almost just as cheap to buy a new engine than to replace some parts.
Anyway, seems to be all working now with the new motor. Excuse the attire, I'd not long woken up! :oops:

Crazy? Why yes. But I was behind double patio doors so at least I was safe enough. :)

Cool, after killing my first nitro engine (hey, I'm a noob and I failed to read the instructions properly so a hard lesson learnt) I considered changing the 700 to electric. I'd love to hear those blades on a LE version. Doing my first real flight Saturday morning, still running quite rich at the moment but will start to lean out the high speed needle soon. :thumbup:
