[hide]Overview
ctag owns a Kyosho Calmato model airplane. It was given to him many years ago by the grandparents of his friends, Daniel and Nathan. ctag has done passive maintenance on the plane and its accessories, but has never been able to start the engine (a .40 glow engine).
The current plan is to purchase and install a gasoline engine and test the control components.

Moved the plane and all components from house in Madison to Nick's house in HSV. Began assessing work needed for flight-worthiness.
