@@thebug4046 I've watched them all :) I upgraded the carb and head back in the day. Now it doesn't seem to pull in fuel, but will run for a second or two when pouring fuel right into the carb. I also just replaced the rod, pin, and crank bearings and she spins nice and smooth by hand.
@@thebug4046 Got a few Norvels but not much else from Russia in my stash. Kinda want to change that, hear tell MVVS engines are really good and MDS engines will play ball if you shim their heads or run low nitro fuels. Indeed, a while ago I test flew a plane for a guy which had an MDS28 on it and that engine ran like clockwork on standard Omega 15%.
@@TestECull MVVS Is a great manufacturer i known a lot of people that swear by them MDS were good for the most part Russia engines were either really good or really bad! Lol
What a beautiful thing
Very cool. I'm trying to get my Nitro Sport running after about 15 years but am having no luck. Nice to see some people can make these things run :)
If it has the 15th engine in it I have several videos explaining those engines and upgrades necessary

@@russtuff although it's very rare it cod need the carb cleaned or you could have a fuel pressure issue like a cracked tank or tank lid not sealing
Wow pretty awesome 💨
1:33 Yup. That's an OS FP. First flip in god knows how long? Busts off like it'd been running ten minutes prior. Gotta love 'em!
It fired right up! Also because I over primed the crap out of it lol
@@thebug4046 I left a 40FP on my stand overnight during a snowstorm and it still flashed right up.
@@TestECull I actually have a Russian copy of the FP 40 I have video about it i made a few years ago
