"That nitro engine can really be a beast at times. Hope this guide will
help you if problems occur with the engine..."

Ted, they aren't "nitro" engines. They are glow engines and will run
perfectly fine without any nitromethane at all.

The first thing a knowledgeable modeler will change in his/her habits is to
cease calling them what they are not and to employ the proper terminology.
Kiddy-kiddies use the term nitro in place of glow. It isn't a generational
thing. It is the right thing.

Sorry Ted but that's *not* the proper break-in for an ABC/AAC engine.

"Nitro" is either bat poop (ammonium nitrate) or the stuff old farts
take for heart problems (nitroglycerine).  Dodge "Nitro?"  They sell bat
poop?  A place called "Nitro Models?"  They sell heart medicine?
