TD .010 first run
Well I did it, I fired up the little Tee Dee, I didn't really want too but I was kind obligated to do so *Shrugs* Either way she fired right up with no problems. The only issue I had was the tank which had a crack that was in between the crankcase and the face of the tank (the sealing area) that branched out from one of the bolt holes this was due to the tank being removed and reinstalled too tight by the previous owner. I tore it down then cleaned the tank real good and wicked in some Testors liquid plastic weld for plastic model cars from the inside to try and hide the repair and it worked!! no leaks!! So here's the video which also includes a little info session on starting these little guys for those who never have run one so off to tick the giant gnat off. enjoy!! (Bandit)
Fuel: Sig Champion 25% with castor added
Prop: Cox 3x1 1/4
Temp at test time: 92F
Relative humidity: 72%
I've got Windows 10 along with new browsers so I've been having issues with videos posting properly and it appears that this vid is no different, don't know if it's just my end but just in case it isn't Here's a direct link to the vid.

Re: TD .010 first run
I enjoyed that .010 run Bandit. Last time I heard one was in my back yard in Florida probably 15 years ago. Sounds the same. Wait until you lean it out though. The local bumble bees may try to mate with it.
I'm trying to think if that's the engine that traced scars across my wrist discussed previously here on our Cox war wounds thread.
Also that's a great engine stand!!!!

Ran nice! I have to get the Worlds Smallest Traveling Engine running sometime in the next few days. I guess it hasn't been run yet since Jason got it.

Wanted to get it out to you so the other stuff could be created for the TE II. It will come back to me to run and sign the card. It should run. Each engine I get is fully disassembled down to each individual part and cleaned. If it needs any parts they are replaced at that time.
