I had another great flight this Saturday. Quite cool, frozen ground, ponds
and lakes froze over. But the flight suit, and gloves were enough.
   With approx. 7 mph breeze, and the cold air, I had one of the easiest
takeoffs in a long while. The wing came up......I squeezed the Black Devil's
throttle. A push, 4 or 5 steps and I'm off the ground.
We have a local farm that runs a Christmas tree "cut-your-own" business. They
look forward every year to my annual fly-over. So, of course I couldn't
disappoint! Real nice waving and shouting "Merry Christmas!!"
    I flew about 40 minutes, started feeling the cold, and came in for a nice
landing. I noticed that wistful look on the faces of the people at the Tree
farm........wishing they were up there, wondering what it is like. I'm a lucky
man.                               Mark Tolle

It sounds like your decompressor hole is plugged and needs to be cleaned.

The correct spark plug is an NGK B8HS.
