Use the Eezi-Bleed kit and you will wonder what they are all moaning
about.
Another consideration is that you should pick up a pair of axle half-
shafts from a SpitFidget and install them before the engine. The ones
that came stock in a Bugeye were marginally up to the task of
harnessing the "power" of a 948, but they WILL twist off when
they try to handle a 1275. It is MUCH easier to change them now!
I understand that a powerful magnet on a skinny broomstick
can be helpful...
