Thanks, I will definitely need to check that out. I have a 1/10 scale B-17 project that something like this would help a lot. The plans call for balsa plywood, so essentially several layers of balsa...

New engines usually take a bit to start. It tells me that you are getting fuel and spark, but I don't think enough to the carb to stay running. Was the plug wet when you pulled it out?
