Crashed Nitro Engine — Will It Run Again?

This engine came out of my Escapade 61 after a pretty wild crash… and somehow, it actually looked like it might survive. Mostly dirt, mud, and a few broken parts. Nothing obviously catastrophic. That was enough to make it worth cleaning up and seeing what it could do. A quick muffler repair, a simple test stand, and it’s time to find out if this thing will run again. — Have you ever had an engine survive a crash like this? Or had one that looked fine… but wasn’t? I’d be interested to hear your experience. — If you enjoy RC planes, engine projects, workshop builds, and bringing old gear back to life, consider subscribing. — 🔗 Follow me: 🎥 YouTube: @HobbyHicks 📌 Facebook: HobbyHicks 📷 Instagram: @HobbyHicks — #rcplane #nitroengine #rcairplane #glowengine #hobbyhicks
