theres increased stability if the drums are
about 1/4 full of fluid, something with a high
specific of gravity works best, nitro for instance,
a large venting system is always a good idea
ignition output can be enhanced with about a 1/2 inch air gap between
the end of the spark plug lead and the plug
it gets hot at those races so having the prop
rotate toward the driver "could" be of benefit
for swamp cooler effect in the pits, this would be
optimum if a stream of fluid was introduced into
the fan/prop, preferably from "bladder" of fluid under pressure
