Ah!!! 95 on an Rx100 meter scale equals 9500, and you are getting 9700. Looks good to me.

What about the other two? are they supposed to be open? or 9500 also? Book spec....

The rain stopped and I threw it in the water without the tan leads and:::

there's the 2 seconds to plane I'm accustomed to! that 140 just heaves my 16' out of the water again :D

It was already just about dark so I didn't troubleshoot which temp sensor was doing it, or whether it was caused by wires too close to the spark wires, but no tan leads and it took off! Daselbee i did make this harder than it needed to be :rolleyes:. Thanks for the help.

It does still leave the nagging question of "7. Calibrate ohmmeter on Rx100 scale and alternately attach meter leads between each power coil lead and clean engine ground (with the picture showing that it means use the O and O/Bl leads directly off of the power pack). Meter must show no continuity." but i will troubleshoot that another day.

Whatever the case, no tan wires and it flew.
