Glad you got it working for you but for future reference, I've found that wrapping the head with aluminum foil works awesome.

don't get lazy. make sure you always preheat it. that is the secret to nitro engines.

lean it gradually for preformance, if its running good and the temps are fine leave it until you think it needs more. like stated - my spec acted like it had no compression after 2 gal. dont worry thats just how the spec is in most cases. id say after a gal you can REALLY tune for preformance

BTW OS has a strict oil percentage requierment for their engines. MOST or all of the racing fuels on the market use less than OS wants.

when I ran OS I used Klotz(a brand name) oil that I added to my regular fuel to bring the oil percentage up to OS requierments. It really makes a big difference.
