<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Ron, I guess I have been lucky! You saw the thing
run at Knoxville. Makes lots of power still! When the bearings crap, I will
let ya'll know if they were FI bearings! Based on what I'm hearing, I bet they
are. I will certainly use the FI bearings when I have to replace these based on
what you guys have been saying</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I run the fuel out to get rid of the
nitro, alcohol and empty the pump. No moisture to speak of this way.
!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I ordered a set of BOCA bearings the day I
purchased this motor because of the reports I heard. They are still in the
wrappings. <BR><BR>I log all the flights with each plane I own. For example,
this plane is the Viper you see on my web site. (<A
href="http://www.rcpattern.com">http://www.rcpattern.com</A>) Since Dennis Hunt
converted it to a Viper (FAI) it has 570 flights. He converted it to the FG
model and added the latest wing and vertical fin and since then it has 272
flights. I didn't keep the original numbers on it's life as a plain Jane Viper,
but you could probably add another four or five hundred flights. (This grand
total would be on the fuselage and stabilizer.) You can't beat wooden
planes for updating! Having the manufacturer twenty miles from your house
doesn't hurt either! I suggest you do this as it sure gives you accurate
information. I did this in the old, old days when I flew control line
speed!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I started a page some time ago for the input of
two-cycle information. <A

page has a lot of good information from some very good pilots. If any of you
care to partake, please do so!</FONT></DIV>
