You can do some serious damage using starting fluid with the glow plugs hooked up

I know, that's why I held it further away and mixed it with wd40. I at least needed to rule that out but no luck. I was hoping it would catch and run but nothing. I don't even think it's the cps, but I need to rule it out.

Hey everyone

Hope you had a great weekend. We went to the race track & practiced today. What a rush! I actually got to try it for myself, instead of doing the medic thing. Ofcourse, I brought my medical stuff just incase, but I didn't need to use it.
Time to kick back, relax, & have a cold one!

I'm guessing you're talking about an R/C helicopter. I sure hope so.

I've never fooled with that type of stuff. My neighbor up the street has one of those helicopters and when he's out flying it around it doesn't seem like it's very easy to control ...either that or he just isn't too good at it.

I have driver and passenger power seats. Power direction (forward, back, up, down) and two tilt switches that I cant seems to figure out the difference between..

Anyone know if this is standard for my year? My 2005 F150 Lariat didnt even have power passenger seats (I think). I was just surprised when I found out that the passenger had them too, I thought that was unusual.

I though having them on the drivers side was just a Lariat thing. Surprised me even more when I saw them on the passenger side.
