Bought this little ruskie engine off a buddy for $20 who couldn't get it to run. I put in a adapter for a standard glow plug and she roared to life. Was running rich in this clip, but I'm trying to break it in. It's mostly there though! media.discordapp.net/attachments/667534396286566402/972182865406197850/Snapchat-213138502.mp4

Awesome! I wonder how mine will shake out when I actually fire it up.

I bet it'll fire right up, what type of .61 is it?

It is an OS. It is from about 15 years ago, but I probably only have like 4 flights on it. One of the few RC plane things I have that has appreciated in value. I dumped a little oil down in it when I knew I was going to mothball it so it wouldn't seize up. 

Part of me wants to make a giant pusher something out of DTFB, just this big, hulking plank plane with a gasser on it.

Hmmm. Kraken perhaps?
