Me trying to fly.

I ran about 2 minutes of each of the first two 5 minute heats, do to stalling issues. Finally got the motor all dialed in and idling nice and responding well. And I didn't show for the Mains because my Humpack died while I was warming up the motor, and my truck went berzerk and went racing across the track at WOT. Got some big air hitting the back of the one jump then it landed itself and raced a little farther before flipping on it's lid and four marshals tried to stomp it to death. (Sarcasm, no one could find the exhaust due to all the "Bling")
I learned alot of stuff and more then one person suggested I wrap a rubber band or spring around the carb. I broke a Rear Upper racer x thing ama jig. But I had a spare, other then that I just ruined a perfecty good body. All in all I would say it was a blast. Also learned that you can never use too much loctite. I loctited everything when I built it and still found 3 pillowballs had moved and I lost 4 screws throughout the truck...
BTW: the track is in NJ, it's called Checkerboard.
