Special thanks to:
Matt @EX Motors for selling me the spare bits I needed
Mr. Dickerson for providing the inspiration

I know the idle is wobbly, the needle spring is old, and allowing it to 'flutter' I'll have a new spring in tomorrow

You might be able to use a short length of fuel tubing on the NV if the vibration causes the fluttering !

Ah, the mighty Pee Wee!!! I enjoyed watching it run, congratulations. Great test stand too. There are several like it floating around the forum. Are you going to mount the Pee Wee on a plane?

I took a swing through the "Four Seasons" Bob. Saved it to my favorite places. Loved the Spring dress........and the music. All seasons nicely staged, lighted, and done. I remember vividly the Movie and the TV series. Burnett and Alda were great. I got "ankle deep", but will run the whole thing when I have more time.

Nice Pee Wee! That sound, even with the little flutter, never gets old.
In fact, the flutter was nicely in tune with the Four Seasons music. Babe Bee .049

And thanks for the spring tip, I've had engine flutter like that. Never thought of a loose nv for a fix. Will try!
Enjoyed both videos. Thanks for posting!

what reply? you already inspired!! Smile

also? keep her pleased. "happy wife, happy life" as I've heard repeated over and over.

thanks Marleysky for the fuel tube idea - i have a sprinig, I just need to do it.

Rsv1cox - I do indeed have a Jim Clem's "CountryBoy" plan on the building board, I just need to put the balsa to it.
big problem here in Sillycon Valley? is a field to fly it in.....
