I too believe that you are going to find water in your fuel system Mark.
I would give your layout a real good going over and see if there is anywhere
the water could get trapped.
The heat from running up without movement to assist in cooling off could be
hiding your problem. Look for any place wate

See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics
See you at the 2007 - KR Gathering
There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying
has begun.

Sorry somehow missed out the "in UK" bit - I am aware that your
experimental class allows single ignition.
I think this is one area where the UK CAA/PFA have got it right, a
single fouled plug won't send a PFA plane heading for a nasty moment (
hopefully )
We have lots of regs that are rather
