Re: G Line Baby Shark with O&R 23 sparker. We have come a long way
I'm a big O&R fan. I have a small collection and I enjoy them. Gutless as can be but they start and run steady. I keep wanting to build a fairly sizeable free flight plane for one. All of mine are totally complete with original needle valves and timers etc. Usually, you find them molested with missing prop washers.

Re: G Line Baby Shark with O&R 23 sparker. We have come a long way
I have the glow plug version of the .29 Ken, I have a sparker .23 around someplace but I can't find it. Seems I read where O&R was the first model engine manufacturer to cast the displacement size into their engines. Darn, just thought, I have an O&R .049 with the shield too, can't find it either. One of my favorites, maybe in the display case down stairs.

A little nasty, I should run it and then clean it up.
It must have been fun way back flying that Baby Shark with a 35' to 50' single line attached to the end of a fishing pole.
Instructions say to add rudder deflection and experiment with the elevator until it fly's off the ground. I would have liked to have been there. Many crashes I would think. Sad for such a beautiful design. If I were back in my passion days for this stuff, I would have built one in standard control line.
BTW, got a kick out of the spelling a grammar errors in the instructions. Likely typed on an old Smith-Corona with no spell/grammar check. I would have been lost.
