"biblical post assembly inspection"   Excellent ! It reminds me of my uncle who worked in a Renault garage, he told us that we had to hope to buy a car that had not been assembled on a Friday PM, there were a lot of defects on these vehicles built a few hours or worse , a few minutes before the factory closes at the start of the weekend!

Yes in lack of CDI, I run the whippet with glow fuel ignited by a glow plug O.S. type "f" special for 4 stroke engines. the fuel is standard commercial 0% nitro. Glow plug "nitro" engines and so called "diesel" or better "compression ignition" engines are two completely different kind of model engines.

You are right, there is a huge gap between the seriousness of the factory that manufactures these magnificent engines, their verification / quality department and the "amateurism" of the website that markets them with bad photos / videos (almost worse than mine) and approximate or even fanciful descriptions…
