I just had the best introduction to giant scale that anyone could ask for. I had up until this point been nervous about attempting to start my Fuji. There is alot of bad publicity on this site that concern starting procedures. Most posters have said that this motor will not start with hand flipping. My flying buddy shakeyjake has a BT-50 and heard the same thing about these motors. He called Fuji with his concerns and all they told him was to make sure the magneto gap is reset by using a business card to gap it. Once he had done that his motor started within ten flips. I hoped I would have the same luck. I engaged my choke and opened the carb up to half. On the 7th flip I got an exhilarating pop. With the choke retarded and the carb set to idle I had a snorting Fuji after 3 flips. I started so easily and ran so good that another modeler said he thought it was a DA. Opened up this motor pulls extremely hard, and its idle is dreamy. This motor cost much less than other 50 size motors but You wouldn't know it. Thanks Fuji for a great engine, and a wonderful experience. I cannot wait to upgrade to an H9 Sukhoi with the BT-86. The 64 is in a H9 80" Cap, and is a great fit.

I wish Fuji would make a 100 and a 150.

Thanks for the post budgetdude, I have my 64 still in the box awaiting completion of my ziroli stuka. I was quite worried after reading some of the posts on here, but now I can't wait.
