<p class=MsoNormal>When did I take up golf? Well, I actually started in
high school, but didn't play regularly until I went on USAF active duty.
I stopped playing after I left active duty, planning to take it up again
when I got old and couldn't do all the active exercise stuff, like running,
tennis, squash and racket ball. Well, I don't run, play tennis, squash or
racket ball anymore, so maybe it is time to take up golf again.<o:p></o:p></p>

course planned it around a short flying session. I packed Delta up with it's
brand new OS GT33 which has had exactly 5 runs on it so far. After all the
rain the last couple days of vacation, a nice day. Drove the 37 miles to
my field, set the plane up, gassed up, everything looked great...<o:p></o:p></span></p>

choke on, full throttle, ignition off, rock the spinner back and forth 10 times
to draw gas. Choke off, throttle back to idle, and ignition on, in that
sequence. Flipped the prop smartly through TDC. It always starts with at most 2
flips. Nothing! Hmmmmm!!!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the spinner, and still nothing. Nearly depleted the lipos. Changed
plugs...nada, not a pop. Checked the throttle servo set-up, re-adjusting the
linkage. Opened up the chin cowl, retraced all electrical connections,
everything seemed fine. Maybe the IBEC has finally failed me, afterall, it's 4
years old. Removed the plug and squirted gas in the hole, and finally it
popped. Well, it looked like the ignition was working okay....IBEC has to be
fine.....mayhaps! It may be the OS CDI; but it's brand new.....Very frustrating
since the OS just works. What the hell am I doing that I'm not supposed to?? Is
it something simple or something complex???<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the number of runs on #2, the first 33 developed a cracked backplate and
refused to run, requiring a trip to Hobby Services. It has worked flawlessly
since.....NAH, Can't be...what are the chances of THAT!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

We have ALL done something like that. To benefit others, maybe we
need to write down a list of all such experiences, like when I didn't hook up
the aileron servos but took off anyway. My Genesis didn't
survive the takeoff. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
