I can remember a silly thing I did many years ago...I fired up the OPS .65 motor in my MRH Silak and put it in the bath to sort the settings out on the carb. I shouldn't have done that....
Most of the water in the bath went on the ceiling, the rest was all over the walls and the floor, and whole house stank of nitro fuel for days.
To say that the wife of the time wasn't impressed is a massive understatement...I was threatened with all sorts of nasty sounding medical things if I ever did that again.
I went over to electric powered boats shortly afterwards...
