EXCITING AFTERNOON
NO PICS SORRY ,,, I am sure ya would have love to see me dancing around like a little girl. This afternoon good weather for running some engines ,couple 049 s and that 35X fox , well the gbee was short run loosen the prop. comp. Put the wimp spring on the other old eng. that was gummed really bad down the needle set [venture]? well it still has problems. So with the Fox on my 40 yr old wooden test stand I began flipping the prop and I flipped and flipped :: well it likes a lot of gas I found out at about 6 turns on the needle### finally that bitc!! fired off and was cranking!!! I fled to the tach 14.700 was the last thing I seen before I noticed that one side of the mount was coming loose !! THATS WHEN THE FUN BEGAIN [THIS DAMN THING ALSO HAS A ALUM. SPINNER ON IT] so I am thinking pain is coming the wing nut is loosing fast my butt was moving hopping throwing the tach. got behine a old refrigerator at the shop
well after I realized I had to get around back and cut / pinch off the fuel , the engine was vibrating / ready to take off/ by then and the other wing nut was loosing . I jumped around behine it and lucky needle nose was there got her cut off, after a retighten and some more flipping with not even a hit I had to give up for the afternoon , but its all in fun . ERIC..

Keep a rag handy...
A Fox can shake things up pretty quick if it's not mounted down good and tight.

Re: EXCITING AFTERNOON
If it almost vibrated loose form the mount, you might want to check the plug for a broken filament.
Re: EXCITING AFTERNOON
speaking of plug .. the only fox plug I had was one w/idle bar,went and got an ops new right out of the pac. was dead i am sure I have some os plugs till I can get some fox plugs.[the right one]andrew wrote:If it almost vibrated loose form the mount, you might want to check the plug for a broken filament.

Re: EXCITING AFTERNOON
I got a good giggle out of this and I bet just about every one here can tell a story of firing an engine where something very bad was gonna happen or did happen.....
I certainly can relate and pure dumb luck is the only reason I still have both eyes and all fingers
The real stupid thing is....for almost my entire Army career I was some sort of safety NCO or officer (rifle ranges) and Crash investigation team member (aircraft) with hundreds of hours in various safety schools
Even with that background I still do incredibly curious things (notice I did not call myself stupid)
On the other hand when my wife, children, or grand children are close; I am stupid anal and ultra safe and nervous as can be with any of the toys and hobby activities we are playing with....
The still running with scissors Fred

I learned that a 20 year old plastic spinner and a Royal .46 don't mix. Divine intervention protected my eyes. My arms, they're still tender.

Re: EXCITING AFTERNOON
Yea. It prompted a test stand redesign and inventory inspection.
The good news is that the Royal is ready to go on the airboat.

Um. I was hoping no one would notice that slip up as well. I have since remedied that.
